BGO scintillator with 2 PMT readoutScintillator was illuminated by Cs137 source (661 keV) without a collimator
Strong nonuniformity of light yieldalong the crystal distance
BGO collimated measurement
Full absorption
BGO collimated measurement
Full absorption
1)Light yield is strongly non uniform along the crystal distance
2)Light separates always in the same proportion between left and right sides
3)Energy resolution ≈18% (big window) ÷ 24% (small window)
