Abstract :
This paper is devoted to studying the growth conditions for large PbWO4 single crystals with improved scintillation characteristics and radiation resistance. It is stated that the crystals grown in the medium with the controlled content of oxygen are distinguished by the highest transmission in the region of their own emission and rapid rate of recovery of the initial optical and luminescent characteristics after the action of radiation
