Abstract
A container design for fabricating low-energy x-ray scintillation dete ctors is proposed. CaI2 and CaI2:Eu crystal detectors are fabricated a nd 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 detect ors for long-wavelength x rays.
