Scintillation characteristics of pure and Tl-doped CsI crystals

Abstract

The scintillation characteristics of pure and Tl-doped CsI were investigated. The scintillation light was detected with photomultipliers and silicon photodiodes. The influence of the Tl concentration on the light yield and on the decay times was studied upon excitation with gamma -rays and alpha -particles. The origin of the different emission components is discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
