Abstract
We report on the performances of CsI(Tl) crystals as gamma -ray detectors, compared with standard NaI(Tl). Energy resolution from E-gamma = 122 keV up to E-gamma = 7.6 MeV and light output yield of different CsI(Tl) crystals and read-out configurations (photomultiplier tubes, photodiodes and avalanc he photodiodes) have been measured.
