Light Output must be a) as high as possible, b) as uniform as possible along the crystal. L defines an energy resolution / for gammas and particles / and energy scale linearity!!!

“Focusing phenomenon” – a typical nonuniformity picture for long crystals.
Primary ( as measured by Suppliers ) spread of Light Output along the crystal as measured by Cs137 gamma source) - open circles, and after our improvement - filled circles.
The method consists in “shadowing” of back facet of crystal near the front face. The loss in Light Output due to the correction of the uniformity – 10 – 15%.

Tl doping for Khar’kov - 0.07mol% - to get optimal particle identification in pulse shape analysis
Compilation of our data on the energy resolution
Temperature dependence of Light output for CsI(Tl)/PD + electronic elements is 0.4%/1 C (GLAST Calorimeter data[])
To get an energy resolution on the level <0.4% we need to stabilize the temperature of CsI(Tl) sample on the level better than 1 C

a2 – slope parameter. Precision in a2 results in final energy resolution of CsI(Tl) as for charged particles, so for gammas !!!!

Thick dotted curves are calculations from Glauber model, thin dotted curves – from the complete fusion model. Point marked as big circle is taken from this in-beam test.
To extract info about the multiple scattering we need to proceed with data analysis with Double Side Strip Detector

Energy resolution of the “ideal” CsI scint for gammas defined in great extent by the noise of PD+ Preamp.+ Shaper.
Measurement of low-energy (say, less than 660 keV) gammas with quite reasonable resolution by using PD is a almost irresolvable problem… Signal from the PD is only 60 keV for 1.17 MeV gammas!!!!!!
