Abstract

We grew a Gd-doped lead chloride single crystal by the Bridgman method and investigated scintillation properties of the crystals at low temperature. We measured the relative light yield, energy resolution, fluorescence decay time, and proportionality of the crystals for the γ-ray at low temperature. The energy resolution is measured to be 25.6% for the ¹³⁷Cs 662 keV γ-ray, and the fluorescence decay time of the crystal is composed of two components with decay times of 1.35 and 6.20 μs at 173 K.
