Pulse height and timing characteristics of CsI(Tl)-Si(PIN) detector for and fission fragments

Timing characteristics of Ce doped Gd3Ga3Al2O12 single crystals in comparison with CsI(Tl) scintillators

“…However the main aim of this paper is to compare the results with CsI(Tl) crystals, therefore measurement were carried out with CsI(Tl) single crystals in the identical setup. The time resolution for CsI:Tl crystals was measured to be about 10 ns when coupled with a PMT which is in good agreement with the reported value of 13 ns by Gupta et al using the same setup [15]. While Harihar et al have reported the time resolution of CsI:Tl crystals to be 14.4 ns, the better time resolution values of 1.3 ns has been reported for CsI(Tl) À PMT setup by Bhattacharjee et al [26,27].…”

“…[15], which leads to the improved energy resolution for these crystals when measured with a 1 in. PMT (Hamamatsu, Model:R6095).…”

“…The compact geometry is very convenient in many applications including high granularity detector arrays in vacuum. Though, due to the poor signal amplification capability of photodiodes, the CsI:Tl-Si(PIN) detector has shown very slow timing response [15].…”

“…Data were collected in an event-by-event mode using a CAMAC based multi-parameter data acquisition system. To compare the results with a CsI:Tl detector, the settings of the set-up were kept identical as described by Gupta et al [15]. Figure 2 shows photographs of an as-grown GGAG:Ce,B crystal having dimension of about 25 mm diameter and 60 mm length.…”

Systematics of pre- and near-scissionα-particle multiplicities in heavy-ion-induced fusion-fission reactions

“…The detector was centered at 145 • with respect to beam direction and covered an angular opening of 30 • . In both the experiments, α particles were detected by three collimated CsI(Tl)-Si(PIN) detectors [17] with an angular opening of ±3.5 • . The particle identification in CsI(Tl) detectors was achieved using pulse shape discrimination (zero cross over) technique.…”
