Abstract:The scintillation decay time constant of a ZnWO4 crystal irradiated with α-particles from 241Am was precisely investigated, and was found to depend on the incident direction of the α-particles on the crystal. The longest decay time constant (24.3 ± 0.6 μs) was obtained on the surface perpendicular to the b-axis of the crystal (Surface B). On Surfaces A and C, the decay constants were 20.0 and 21.3 ± 0.2 μs, respectively. The scintillation yield of the ZnWO4 was also anisotropic and depended on the incident dir… Show more
