Abstract

A container design for fabricating low-energy x-ray scintillation detectors is proposed. CaI2 and CaI2:Eu crystal detectors are fabricated and their characteristics are investigated. It is shown that on account of their layered structure, perfect cleavage, and high light output, calcium iodide scintillators can be used to fabricate thin-film detectors for long-wavelength x rays.
