摘要：

In this paper, TlBr detectors with three-electrodes were prepared and their long term stability evaluated as a function of the temperature. Systematic measurements of counting rate were carried out to observe the random pulse formation, due to the polarization effect. Three-electrode detectors presented stability of about 112 h at near room temperature and more than 325 h at 0 degrees C Although the three-electrode detector presents a better performance compared to the two-electrode detector, its stability has been still dependent on the temperature.
