Title :
The tuning of CsI(Tl) crystals: methods and results
Author_Institution :
Linear Accel. Center, Stanford, CA, USA
Abstract :
Tuning is defined as the process to alter the surface characteristics of CsI(Tl) crystals in order to produce a uniform light response, within strict Quality Control standards. The various methods of tuning are discussed as well as comparisons between different manufacturers´ crystals and a summary of tuning done for the BaBar Calorimeter
