Abstract
Results are presented concerning a calibration experiment of the CsI(Tl) cr ystals of the GARFIELD apparatus. Experimental data were collected in a wid e range of energy and charge (40 less than or equal to E(MeV) less than or equal to 230, 3 less than or equal to Z less than or equal to 28) with part icular care to the region of low energies and light ions. Analytical expres sions in recent publications, linking the output response of CsI(Tl) crysta ls to the energy and charge of the detected ion, are revised. An improved f ormula is suggested, which takes into account new physical constraints.
