Abstract

Radiation defect formation processes in large dimension CsI crystal scintillators have been considered. It is shown that F-centers are efficiently formed in crystals doped with CO 3 2− and OH − ions. Sodium ions harden CsI crystals against radio-chemical reactions of F-centers, and HCO 3 − ion formation. The use of sodium as a co-activator to increase the radiation stability of CsI(Tl) crystals has been considered.
