Monte Carlo simulation of the passage of γ-rays and α-particles in CsI
2021, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and AtomsCitation Excerpt :Indeed, as early as 1958 [22], it was recognized that both the efficiency and kinetics of scintillation in CsI(Tl) varied with the type and energy of radiation particles (electrons, protons, α-particles), a finding that was attributed to differences in excitation density created by the various particles. Soon after and in the following decades, techniques for particle discrimination with CsI(Tl) were put forward by researchers [23–28]. α/γ pulse shape discrimination and α/γ ratio have been studied and have consistently shown that a greater proportion of the scintillation light is promptly emitted for α-particles compared to γ-rays and that a higher Tl concentration is needed for α-particles than for γ-rays in order to reach maximum light yield [29–32] The saturation model of Murray and Meyer [33] (MM) is able to explain these observations, whereby Tl activator sites are saturated by the high excitation density created by α-particles but not in the case of γ-rays, which generally have a much lower stopping power.
Front-end electronics for CsI based charged particle array for the study of reaction dynamics
2015, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated EquipmentCitation Excerpt :Both these factors contribute to pulse shape discrimination. The commonly used pulse shape discrimination techniques for particle identification are zero cross timing technique [4], charge comparison technique [17] and ballistic deficit technique [18]. In our case we implemented the ballistic deficit technique which is very simple to implement.

2002, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated EquipmentCitation Excerpt :Particle identification using the photodiode signal of CsI(Tl) detectors can be obtained in different ways: a standard pulse shape method, similar to the one used for neutron-γ discrimination, has been used in Ref. [4–6,8,11]; a two-gate method [7,9,12], with a simpler electronics or a combination of the two methods [10], have shown also rather good results.
