1 PPARC forum on developments in scintillator technology 17.9.02 R M Brown - RAL 1 Scintillating Crystals for Particle Physics Outline  Performance considerations  Table of crystal properties  Properties of Lead tungstate  Lead tungstate in CMS  Other future experiments  Summary

2 PPARC forum on developments in scintillator technology 17.9.02 R M Brown - RAL 2 Performance Considerations  Light yield  Speed (scintillation decay time)  Radiation length / Molière radius  Resistance to radiation-induced darkening  Emission spectrum  Cost (including implications for associated detectors) The relative weight given to these considerations depends on the application. The choice of crystal usually involves a compromise

NIM A486(2002) 131) BaF 2 considered as the bench mark Conclude:PbWO 4 performs well, despite limited light yield CeF 3 attractive, requires further development of large homogeneous crystals Note:Studies elsewhere show light yield of PbWO 4 (and energy resolution) improved by doping with Tb or Mo - at expense of speed
