Abstract :
The light output response of LYSO(Ce) crystals was investigated using helium and carbon beams of 720 MeV and 3.48 GeV, respectively. Experimental results showed good agreement with the calculated curves by the Birks equation but the values of the parameters in the equation were different between helium and carbon ions.
