Abstract
This investigation shows some optical and scintillation properties of new s cintillating media, based on heavy composite materials and an inorganic cry stal CsI : Br, intended for the creation of precise heterogeneous EM-calori meters with the energy resolution sigma /E similar or equal to 4-5%/rootE. The possibility to use cheap heavy scintillating plates based on optical ce ramics as active media in heterogeneous EM-calorimeters is considered. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
