Abstract

In this paper the growth of a 16mm diameter Ce-doped Tl $_2$ NaYCl $_6$ and its characterization as a gamma-ray detector are reported. With a 16 mm dia. x 8 mm cylindrical sample, energy resolution of 4.1% (FWHM) at 662 keV and light yield of 27,800ph/MeV are measured. Decay times of 91 ns (34%), 462 ns (52%), and 2.1 microseconds (15%) are calculated. The x-ray excited emission spectrum exhibits bands that are similar to other Tl-based elpasolite scintillators like Tl $_2$ NaYCl $_6$ :Ce.
