Description:
The response of a 3.8-cm TlCl(I,Be) crystal to 8 GeV negative pions is reported. A comparison is also made with the response of a similar CsI(Tl) crystal to the same incident radiation. In addition, the pulse shape and resolution characteristics of a 7.6-cm TlCl(I,Be) crystal, excited by positrons in the energy range 50 to 130 MeV, are reviewed. It is concluded that thallous chloride shows promise of being an excellent scintillating material for the detection and energy determination of high energy photons and charged particles.
