BGO
Energy of PMT 1 (small window) Energy of PMT 2 (big window) BGO scintillator with 2 PMT readout Scintillator was illuminated by Cs137 source (661 keV) without a collimator Strong nonuniformity of light yield along the crystal distance
BGO collimated measurement Full absorption
BGO collimated measurement Full absorption
1)Light yield is strongly non uniform along the crystal distance 2)Light separates always in the same proportion between left and right sides 3)Energy resolution ≈18% (big window) ÷ 24% (small window) BGO results
CsI(Tl) 7% at 661 keV 2.5 cm
