Nonproportional scintillation response of NaI:Tl to low energy x-ray photons and electrons

Nonproportional response of the scintillation yield of NaI:Tl was measured using highly monochromatic synchrotron irradiation ranging from 9–100 keV. Special attention is paid to the x-ray escape peaks. They provide us additional information about photon response in the range 0.9–12 keV. A rapid variation in the photon response curve is observed...

Energy Dependence of the Relative Light Output of YAlO3:Ce, Y2SiO5:Ce, and YPO4:Ce Scintillators

The nonlinear dependence of the relative light output on the energy deposited in single-crystal scintillation materials YAlO3:Ce (YAP:Ce), Y2SiO5:Ce (YSO:Ce), and YPO4:Ce (YPO:Ce) has been studied. The investigations have been conducted under quasi-monochromatic X-ray excitation in the energy range of 9.5–100 keV. In addition to the standard...
