Abstract

This work has been aimed at measuring the absolute light yield of LGSO:Ce, CWO, ZnSe:Al, and GSO:Ce scintillators in photons/MeV using the PMT intrinsic resolution method. Special feature of this paper is simultaneous and self-consistent determination of absolute light yield and light collection coefficient of the detector.
