Abstract
The scintillation properties of cesium-zirconium hexachloride (Cs2ZrCl6) were investigated by γ-ray spectrometry and the Compton Coincidence Technique. The tested cylindrical sample had 20 mm diameter and 12 mm height. The crystal shows a high light output of 40 900 photons per MeV as measured by a spectroscopy type photomultiplier with 20 μs pulse integration time under γ-ray excitation at room temperature. A small deviation from linear response as a function of energy deposited in γ-ray absorption or Compton scattering processes, combined with a high light yield, results in good energy resolution equal to 4.3 % at 662 keV and 2.3 % at 2.6 MeV. Due to long lasting scintillation decay the sample properties were studied at different shaping time constants in an analogue spectroscopy chain or using different integration time gates when employing a digital analyzer.
