Abstract

The use of KBr(Eu) scintillator crystals for heavy ion detection purposes is considered by first establishing an optimum Eu concentration and then exposing KBr(Eu) samples to E A ≤ 20 MeV, 2 ≤ Z ≤ 7 ions. The optimum Eu doping found here is 0.1 mol%. The KBr(Eu) response to ions is compared with that of a commercial sample CsI(T1). The resolution of KBr(Eu) is found to provide an adequate element separation, although its relative luminosity is considerably smaller than that of CsI(Tl).
