Abstract
As a part of the INTEGRAL project, small CsI(Tl) scintillation crystal s have been irradiated with high-energy protons (0.2 and 1.0 GeV) in o rder to measure the induced radioactivity. The unstable isotopes have been identified by gamma-ray spectroscopy using a HP Ge detector. Comp arison of the results with previous theoretical assessments are presen ted, together with the implications for the background rejection for t he INTEGRAL imager.
