Abstract
Tl-based crystalline scintillators, such as Tl 2 ZrCl 6 , TlMgCl 3 , TlCdCl 3 , TlSrCl 3 , and TlBaCl 3, were synthesized by the Bridgeman method. The scintillation light yields of these materials were evaluated under 137 Cs -ray irradiation. The relationship between the photoabsorption peak channel and -ray energy was evaluated using various radioisotopes. Furthermore, the same relationship for energy resolution was also investigated.
