  3. Large Area Avalanche photodiode • The quantum efficiency close to the 80% in the visible and near infra-red. (PMT ~20%) • Gain of up to several hundred in the total collected charge is possible. (Photodiode doesn’t have internal gain) <Windowless LAAPD>

  5. APD optimization test • Energy resolution from different gain by changing high voltage. • The best resolution is obtained between 1780V and 1820V.

  6. APD optimization test • Energy resolution from different shaping time. • The best resolution is obtained with 3~4μs shaping time.

  7. Energy resolution of CsI(Tl) • Energy resolution (FWHM) :4.7% • If we use PMT, energy resolution is about 7% 662 keV <HV:1800, gain:20 and shaping time:4us in amplifier>

  8. Calibration • The number of e-h pairs : 37,000 e-h/MeV • The absolute light output : 52,000 ph/MeV <HV:1800, gain:100 and shaping time:4us in amplifier>

  10. 662 keV SrCl2 crystal test • Energy resolution (FWHM) : 9.6% • The number of e-h pair : 14,000 e-h/MeV • The absolute light output : 20,000 ph/MeV

  11. Ba0.20Sr0.80Cl2 crystal test 662 keV • Energy resolution (FWHM) : 5.4% • The number of e-h pair : 16,500 e-h/MeV • The absolute light output : 23,000 ph/MeV

  12. Conclusion • The best resolution of CsI(Tl) is obtained with 3~4 μs shaping time, and with 1800V high voltage of LAAPD. • We can measure the number of e-h pairs and the absolute light yield of scintillation crystals with LAAPD. • The number of e-h pair of CsI(Tl) is obtained to be about 37,000 e-h/MeV and the absolute light output is obtained to be about 52,000 ph/MeV for 662 keV 137Cs γ-ray source. • We estimate the relative light output of newly developed SrCl2 crystal to be about 40% of CsI(Tl) and Ba0.20Sr0.80Cl2 crystal to be about 45% of that. • We measured the absolute light yield of ZnSe(O), CeBr3 and other scintillation crystals.
