Investigation of the Dependence of CsI(Tl) Scintillation Time Constants and Intensities on Particle's Energy, Charge and Mass Through Direct Fitting of Digitized Waveforms

Abstract

The dependence of the CsI(Tl) scintillation time constants and intensities on the particle ionization profile is at the basis of the Charge and Mass identification technique for Light Charged Products in Intermediate Energy Nuclear Physics multi-detector arrays. The possibility of storing the digitized waveforms in true beam experiments allows performing further offline analyses and makes available a data set related to the interaction of different particle types in a wide energy range.
