Luminescence and radiation damage of the single crystals PbWO/sub 4/

The processes of the radiation damage and recovery of PbWO/sub 4/ crystals were studied in the present paper. The crystals had different faults and were subjected to the effect of /spl gamma/-irradiation with the dose power of 30 rad/min and 500 rad/min. At low radiation doses, measurements were made directly in the irradiation process and just after it.
