This article, for comparison, the non-proportionality of light yield and energy resolution of BGO, LYSO and CsI(Tl) scintillators couple to the R1306 PMT readouts were investigated. At 662 keV from 137Cs source, the good energy resolution of 7.13% for CsI(Tl) superior than LYSO and BGO scintillators. The energy resolution on gamma-ray energy was also evaluated to expose the scintillator intrinsic resolution parameters. For non-proportionality of light yield, the study showed a light yield non-proportionality 0.35% of LYSO, the value is better than 4.82 % for CsI(Tl) and 1.53 % of BGO scintillators.

The Cross

The cross section of the reaction 6Li(n,3H)'He has been measured, with good energy resolution, over the neutron range 2�0--2�65 MeV. This corresponds to an excitation of 7Li from 9� 0 to 9� 55 MeV, a region in which photodisintegration experiments indicate the presence of one or more levels. No resonance structure was observed in this experiment and possible reasons for this are discussed.

In the present day, inorganic scintillating crystals become a main part in detection and spectroscopy of nuclear particles and high energy photons, more spectively in X/g-ray imaging. The good properties for the scintillating crystals used in these applications require high photon yield, high stopping power, good energy resolution, good light yield proportionality, and minimal afterglow. The main useful of Ce-doped Lu0.7Y0.3AlO3 (LuYAP(Ce)) are high stopping power and non-hygroscopic which are expected to be key ingredients for medical imaging. In this work, we studied the light yield non-proportionality and energy resolution of LuYAP(Ce) crystal with the energy range from 31 to 1,274.5 keV using photomultiplier tube (PMT) readout. The intrinsic resolution of the LuYAP(Ce) crystal has been determined after correcting the measured PMT resolution. The results showed that the non-proportional response of the crystals was strongly correlated with the intrinsic resolution of the crystals.

Nowadays, radioactive materials are being applied in medical imaging. Because humans cannot observe radiation, radiation detection materials are very important to humans. A scintillator is a material that can change gamma photons to visible photons. Good scintillators should have the following properties: high scintillation light yield, good energy resolution, and high density. In this work, the scintillation light yield property of CWO crystals was studied due to its interesting properties, such as high stopping power and low hygroscopicity. CWO crystals were compared with BGO crystals. From the results, it was found that the BGO crystals showed higher scintillation light yield value at 662 keV energy from 137Cs radioactive source than the CWO crystals, resulting in better energy resolution value. The intrinsic light yield and loss parameters for both crystals are also presented in this work.

The study of y-ray lines of astrophysical origin has become more interesting with the introduction of cooled solid state detectors having a very good energy resolution, 1-2 keV at 100 keV, and ca. 2-3 keV around 1 MeV. Some of the single crystal spectrometers currently in use in y-ray astronomy are capable of detecting lines with intensities 3 x 10 -3 ph cm -2 s -1 when used on balloon experiments. This is close to the y-ray intensities predicted from some celestial y-ray sources. Knowing the y-ray background precisely and with a reasonable although lengthy observation time it should be possible to detect lines from candidate celestial sources, for example neutron stars, Seyfert galaxies or the galactic centre.
