Abstract

The luminous response to α, β and γ rays from radioactive sources and E/A ⩽ 20 MeV, 3 ⩽ Z ⩽ 7 heavy ions of KI(Eu) crystals was studied. Measurements include optical spectral response and Eu concentration dependence. When coupled with a transmission Si surface-barrier ΔE detector, the light-output response L observed from an optimized KI(Eu) sample is found to provide adequate Z resolution in a ΔE vs. L plot. A comparison with the results of a similar study on KBr(Eu) and CsI(Tl) crystals is presented.
