Solar Orbiter is one of the ESA’s missions planned for operating as close to the sun as 0.3 AU. The detection and characterization of the high-energy particles is one of the science requirements of the planned mission. A High-Energy Telescope (HET) has been designed for the Energetic Particle Detector (EPD) Consortium based on an inorganic scintillator crystal and semiconductor detectors. HET will detect electrons from 0.3 - 25 MeV, protons 10 - 100 MeV and heavy ions 50 - 200 MeV/n. The scintillator detector is the heart of the proposed design. Hence, characterization of the different scintillator materials is very important to select a suitable candidate for operating the instrument on the proposed orbit. Here, we will present studies performed on BGO and GSO:Ce including intrinsic radioactivity and temperature dependence of the light yield as well as calibration results in accelerators and quenching by comparison with Monte Carlo simulations.
