A model of the radiation-induced absorption and its recovery in lead tungstate crystals is proposed. This model, which describes small variations of the crystal light yield, can be used to improve the precision of electromagnetic calorimeter monitoring. In this paper we describe the transmission damage and recovery phenomena in lead tungstate crystals through the contribution of different colour centres in the radiation-induced absorption in lead tungstate crystals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
