Abstract

In recent papers [1] it has been demonstrated that Lead Tungstate signals contain both scintillation and Cherenkov components. In order to further assess and evaluate the relative contribution of the Cherenkov component, we performed measurements at different temperatures, ranging from 13°C to 45°C being only the scintillation component affected by the temperature change. Over this temperature range, the total light yield was measured to decrease by a factor of 2, while the relative Cherenkov contribution to the signals increased by the same factor. We also studied the decay time of the scintillation process and observed it to decrease as well.
