Abstract
Abstract This paper investigates the influence of activator concentration and temperature on the scintillation process in CsI:Na crystal which was excited by a pulsed electron beam (E ex = 0.25 MeV, t 1/2 = 15 ns, W = 0.003…0.16 J/cm 2 ) at temperature within 77–300 K. It has been established that the transition of Na-bound two halide exciton from singlet state causes 3 eV emission of CsI:Na. The capturing of V k by Na + ion determines the scintillation pulse shape. Thermal liberation of V k from V kA centers results in an inertial rise of the emission pulse in lightly activated CsI:Na and in a mono-exponential decay of the emission pulse in heavily activated CsI:Na. The value of thermal dissociation energy of V kA centers is 0.24 ± 0.01 eV, which was obtained from the temperature dependences of the emission decay time constant for CsI:2.8∙10 −3 %Na and of the rise time constant for CsI:2.0∙10 −4 %Na.
