ZnWO4 scintillators for cryogenic dark matter experiments
- Abstract:
-
The scintillation properties of a zinc tungstate crystal, shaped as a hexagonal prism (height 40 mm, diagonal 40 mm) were determined. An energy resolution of 10.7% for the 662 keV γ-line of 137Cs was measured with the scintillator placed in a light collection setup similar to that used by the CRESST dark matter search. The light output and decay kinetics of ZnWO4 were examined over the temperature range 7-300 K and confirmed to be competitive with those of CaWO4. The radioactive contamination...
