ABSTRACTThe optical absorption, light output and effects of radiation damage have been studied ina 2.2 × 2.2 × 12.8 cm3 crystal of lead tungstate. The crystal exhibits a longitudinal attenuation length which varies from roughly 13 cm to 1.5 m over the region where the scintillation emission occurs (400-800 nm). The light yield produces approximately 10 photoelectrons per MeV on a photomultiplier tube with a bialkali photocathode. The scintillation and light transmission properties of the crystal were characterized before and after exposure to 1 Mrad of 60Co gamma rays. Significant radiation induced optical absorption was observed in this crystal, along with a considerable amount of phosphorescence after irradiation. Partial spontaneous recovery from the damage occurred at room temperature, and it was possible to induce additional recovery by optical bleaching.

Time response and light yield are two of the most important features of a scintillation detector, and are mostly determined by the luminescence properties of the scintillator.
