The light output, α/β ratio, and pulse shape have been investigated at −25 • C with PbWO 4 crystal scintillators undoped, and doped by F, Eu, Mo, Gd and S. The fast 0.01 − 0.06 µs and middle 0.1 − 0.5 µs components of scintillation decay were observed for all the samples. Slow components of scintillation signal with the decay times 1 − 3 µs and 13 − 28 µs with the total intensity up to ≈ 50% have been recognized for several samples doped by Molybdenum. We found some indications of a pulse-shape discrimination between α particles and γ quanta with PbWO 4 (Mo doped) crystal scintillators.
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.
