摘要
Energy resolution, non-proportionality in the scintillation response, alpha/beta ratio, Pulse shape for gamma rays and of, particles were Studied with CdWO4 crystal scintillators. Some indication for a difference in the emission spectra for gamma rays and alpha particles was observed. No dependence of CdWO4 pulse shape on emission spectrum wavelengths tinder laser, alpha particles and gamma ray excitation was observed. Dependence of scintillation pulse shape for,gamma quanta and or, particles and pulse-shape discrimination ability on temperature was measured in the range of 0-24 degrees C. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
