Response of a large CsI(Tl) crystal to electrons and pions below 1.5 GeV/c

Description

As CsI(Tl)crystal of 9.5 cm diameter and 30 cm length was tested with electrons and ions in the momentum range from 0.2 to 1.5 GeV/c. Photodiode an dphotomultiplier readouts were used for comparison. In the photodiode readout, the fwhm energy resolution for electrons was 6.7% at 1 GeV in agreement with the EGS simulation. The e/π separation for momentum analyzed particles was found to be 1/1000 at 1 GeV/c with a simple energy cut. The pulse height nonuniformity along the longitudinal position, scanned with a pencil beam of 1 GeV/c pions, was smaller than ±4% between 4 and 27 cm from the photomulitplier. (orig.)
