- Abstract
A thallium bromide (TlBr) gamma-ray detector was developed for particle-induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) applications. The PIGE spectrum of a lithium fluoride (LiF) crystal was obtained for the first time using the TlBr detector. This detector was fabricated using a zone-purified crystal with dimensions of approximately 2mm × 2mm × 5mm. An energy resolution of 2.3% full-width at half maximum for 511 keV gamma rays was obtained from the detector at room temperature. The LiF crystal target was irradiated with a 20 MeV proton beam at the Aomori Prefecture Quantum Science Center. Full-energy peaks of 478 keV and 197 keV were successfully detected from lithium and fluorine, respectively, using the TlBr detector in the PIGE experiment.
