Abstract :
The response of a CdWO4 crystal scintillator to protons, α particles, Li, C, O and Ti ions with energies in the range 1–10 MeV was measured. The non-proportionality of CdWO4 for low energy electrons (4–110 keV) was studied with the Compton Coincidence Technique. The energy dependence of the quenching factors for ions and the relative light yield for low energy electrons was calculated using a semi-empirical approach. Pulse-shape discrimination ability between γ quanta, protons, α particles and ions was investigated.
