Abstract
We carried out experiments to investigate the light output response of NaI(Tl), CsI(Tl), GSO(Ce) and LYSO(Ce) crystals for intermediate-energy 4 He, 12 C and 40 Ar beams from HIMAC at National Institute of Radiological Sciences. And we investigate the light output of these crystals for several-energy gamma-ray for comparison. From these light output responses, we obtained the relationships between the scintillation efficiency (dL/dx) and the specific energy loss (dE/dx) for each crystal. The scintillation efficiency curves of NaI(Tl) and CsI(Tl) crystal have the peak in a particular dE/dx. On the other hand, the scintillation efficiency curves of GSO(Ce) and LYSO(Ce) crystal decrease with increasing dE/dx. The light output curves of these crystals were systematically reproduced using obtained scintillation efficiencies.
