Crystal-by-crystal Variation General comments from Prof. Kobayashi The slow component is produced by the radiative recombination of excited electrons, which are captured at lattice defects. The metal impurity at the magnitude of ppm order will affect the crystal growth & quality. 68 88% FOREST pure CsI [very rough analysis] =44.4 ns (0.732) + =240.9 ns (0.268) Time [nsec] BNL CsI crystals Pulse height (arbitrary unit) 9

Slide 14

Summary E787/E949 Endcap undoped CsI Detector was introduced for the sufficient photon veto ability inside the 1 Tesla B-field. low inefficiency low accidental veto rate Its design is optimized to obtain the timing information with low inefficiency (undoped CsI with the direct connection of fine-mesh PMT, UV-transmitting optical filter, pulse shape analysis) and low accidental veto rate (better time resolution, pulse shape analysis). These techniques may be usable for the photon detectors under the high rate environment. Because of the special purpose, this detector was not optimized for calorimetry.
