Description

A newly developed large area photodiode has been studied as the photon sensor for medium-size CsI(Tl) scintillation counters. The photodiode has a sensitive area of 18x18 mm2 and a thickness of 500 μm. When combined with a CsI(Tl) crystal of 2.5x2.5x5.0 cm3, it gives an energy resolution of around 5.1% (FWHM) for 1.33 MeV gamma-rays. Characteristics of the low noise preamplifier designed for the CsI(Tl)-photodiode counter will also be given. (orig.)
