Abstract
The origin of the slow component and of the afterglow in PWO scintilla tion is discussed. It is shown that their presence depends strongly on the growth conditions and originates from specific impurities and hos t point-structure defects. The influence of the scintillation kinetics parameters on the detection properties of PWO crystals is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
