Abstract：
Radiation damage effects of several Chinese-made high-Z scintillation crystals have been studied on a ⁶⁰Co irradiation unit of 100 kCi. Results on small size BGO crystals irradiated by ⁶⁰Co γ-rays with various doses from 5×10³ to 7.5×10⁵ rad are presented. The non-linear decrease of the scintillation light output with the increase of the dose applied and saturation effects have been observed. The spontaneous recovery of the light output can be described by the sum of at least three exponential functions. The radiation damage effects of small size BaF₂, CsI(Tl) and ZnWO₄ crystals at 5×10⁵ rad were also investigated. Serious damage to BaF₂ has been found. Preliminary analyses indicate that this may be attributed to the inclusion of certain critical elements, in the crystal. CsI(Tl) after irradiation does not exhibit strong afterglow or noticeable coloration as were reported in the literature.
