CsI(Tl) scintillators as γ-ray detectors for the identification of hidden explosives

Description

We report on the performances of CsI(Tl) crystals as γ-ray detectors, compared with standard NaI(Tl). Energy resolution from Eγ=122 keV up to Eγ=7.6 MeV and light output yield of different CsI(Tl) crystals and read-out configurations (photomultiplier tubes, photodiodes and avalanche photodiodes) have been measured
