Ce-doped (Gd,La)2Si2O7 scintillator has a high light output, fast decay time, and it has been expected to be applied in various fields. One of the applications is to use in the space for astronomy, and therefore, the evaluation of the radiation hardness is required. We grew a Ce-doped (Gd,La)2Si2O7 single crystal by the Czochralski technique, and evaluated its radiation hardness using 80-MeV alpha rays in Tohoku University with a total dose of approximately 20,000 Gy. The light outputs and decay times were slightly degraded after the irradiation by few %. Only the energy resolution was degraded dramatically in the 80-MeV alpha-ray range, and Ce-doped (Gd,La)2Si2O7 scintillator was found to have good radiation hardness for alpha rays.
