Scintillation and kinetic parameters of PbWO/sub 4/ scintillators

A study has been made of the scintillation, luminescent and kinetic characteristics of full size (25 radiation lengths) PbWO/sub 4/ single crystals, obtained in the optimal condition. It is shown that the light yield of the crystals is 11-14 phe/MeV, the constants of decay time are less than 100 ns, depending upon crystallization features, medium of growth, the oxygen content and thermal annealing.
