Abstract
Investigation results of the dependence of the specific light yield on the energy of X-rays and γ-quanta in a range of 1.5–662 keV for NaI(Tl), CsI(Na), CsI(Tl), Bi4Ge3O12, CdWO4, ZnWO4, Y3Al5O12: Ce, CdI2, CaF2(Eu), LSO, YAlO3: Ce, and PS-111 scintillation crystals are presented. The obtained dependences are nonlinear with pronounced minima in a range of K- and L-absorption edges of scintillator-forming elements.Keywords
