Abstract

Because of its ultrafast light with sub-ns decay time and the suppressed slow scintillation light yttrium doped barium fluoride (BaF <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> :Y) crystals attract a broad interest in the community pursuing ultrafast detector technology. BaF <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> :Y crystals of large size were grown for the proposed Mu2e-II calorimeter. Their scintillation performance, such as transmittance, light output, and fast/slow ratio, was characterized. Gamma-ray induced readout noise was found to be dominated by the slow scintillation component in BaF <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> crystals.
