متن کاملEvaluation of mass-produced lead tungstate crystals
Because of broad interest in high-energy and nuclear physics community, mass production capacities of lead tungstate (PWO) crystals have been established. The optical and scintillation properties of PWO crystals, 20 each from two major vendors, were evaluated. The transmittance, emission and excitation spectrum, light output, decay kinetics and light response uniformity, as well as their degrad...
متن کاملRadiation-induced color centers in La-doped PbWO 4 crystals
This report presents the result of a study on radiation-induced color center densities in La-doped lead tungstate (PbWO 4 ) crystals. The creation and annihilation constants of radiation-induced color centers were determined by using transmittance data measured for a PbWO 4 sample before and during 60Co c-ray irradiation at a dose rate of 15 rad/h. Following a model of color center kinetics, th...
