Property investigation for different wedge-shaped CsI(Tl)s

Abstract

Two types of wedge-shaped CsI(Tl)s were designed to be placed behind the annular double-sided silicon detectors (ADSSDs) to identify the light charged particles with the $\hat{I}”E-E$ method. The properties of CsI(Tl)s with different shapes and sizes, such as energy resolution, light output non-uniformity and particle identification capability, were compared by using a $\hat{I}\pm$-source and a radioactive beam of ${}^{15}$C. The big-size CsI(Tl) was finally adopted to form the $\hat{I}”E-E$ telescope due to better properties. The property differences of these two types of CsI(Tl)s can be interpreted based on the Geant4 simulation results.
