The NaI:Tl crystals were early investigated and used for wide application fields due to high light yield and crystal growth advantages. So far, the absolute light yields of NaI:Tl crystal have typically been known to be 40 ph/keV. However,…
Bolometers have proven to be good instruments to search for rare processes because of their excellent energy resolution and their extremely low intrinsic background. In this kind of detectors, the capability of discriminating alpha…
The fast luminescence component of barium fluoride (BaF$_2$) crystals with a subnanosecond decay time can find wide application in particle physics and nuclear physics. However, the slow luminescence component with the 630~ns decay time…
