Description
We have a program to survey the absolute scintillation efficiency and the energy resolution of popular scintillation crystals such as NaI(Tl), CsI(Tl), CdWO4 and BGO for gamma ray irradiation to obtain scintillation crystals with better energy resolution. It has been said that, among the popular scintillation crystals, NaI(Tl) is the best in energy resolution and is one of the largest in photon output and that CsI(Tl) crystals have the similar energy resolution and similar light output to those of NaI(Tl). We already reported the scintillation efficiency and the energy resolution of NaI(Tl) crystals elsewhere. CsI(Tl) crystal is less fragile and less deliquescent that NaI(Tl) crystal. Recently we started the study of the CsI(Tl) crystals and found that the light output is no less than that of NaI(Tl) crystals, though the result is preliminary. In this report we will describe the method of experiment and give the light output of CsI(Tl) crystals in term of Ws values, the average energy to produce one scintillation photon. (author)
