Abstract
A method for the intrinsic energy calibration of photomultiplier-coupl ed CsI(Tl) detectors is described. A simple empirical model of the sci ntillation light pulse-shape of CsI(Tl) crystals for light charged par ticles has been applied to simulate the particle identification matrix as it follows from the pulse-shape analysis method. The calibration p rocedure for the large-area CsI(TI) detectors of the scintillator shel l of the 4 pi-array FOBOS for ions with Z < 4 at energies below 100 AM eV is based on the energies of the particle punch-through points.
