The pulsed cathodoluminescence of a cerium ion in ceramic samples of yttrium-aluminum garnet with a ceria content of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 at.% was studied. These samples were irradiated in air at room temperature with a 2 ns-duration electron beam with an average electron energy of 170 keV and a current density of 130 A/cm2. It enables to simulate the external ionizing radiation for scintillators. Two broad luminescence bands were observed at 570 nm and at 350 nm, being the results of the Ce3+ ion d-f transition and the recombination of a self-trapped exciton, respectively. The cerium luminescence band center shifts to the long-wavelength region with an increase in the content of ceria. It is found that the intensity decay of the cerium band, measured for each concentration at a wavelength of 570 nm, is characterized by two maxima in the nanosecond (tm1~3 ns) and microsecond (tm2~1.3 μs) time intervals. The first maximum is shown to be formed due to, firstly, the excitation of Ce3+ d-levels by secondary electrons generated by beam electrons and, secondly, spontaneous emission with a characteristic time of taus=100±10 ns. The second maximum arises when the excited Ce3+ is formed during the recombination of Ce2+ and Ce4+ ions produced by the electron beam. After the second maximum, the intensity decay of the band is described by a hyperbolic law with a characteristic time of 30-75 μs, depending on the content of cerium ions, and the light sum of this recombination luminescence is 60% of the total luminescence light sum of the band. The luminescence intensity decay of the band at 350 nm is monotonic and a characteristic decay time is 63.7 ns for a sample with a ceria content of 0.1 at.% and about 10.5 ns for samples with a ceria content of 0.5-5 at.%. Keywords: pulsed cathodoluminescence, cerium, yttrium-aluminum garnet, kinetics, rise, decay, characteristic times.
