Light yield of cold undoped CsI crystal down to 13 keV and the application of such crystals in neutrino detection
Abstract The light yield of an undoped CsI crystal at about 77 Kelvin was measured to be $$33.5 \, \pm \, 0.7$$ 33.5 ± 0.7 photo-electrons (PE) per keV electron-equivalent (keVee) in the energy range of [13, 60] keVee using X and $$\gamma $$ γ -rays from an $$^{241}$$ 241 Am radioactive source.
