• high resolution calorimetry with PWO

+ fast and very dense scintillator: <10ns Xo=0.9cm

+ radiation hard @RT: CMS-ECAL

- low light yield: medium-energy application

improvement of the photon statistics by:• increase of light output PWO-II• operation well below room temperature

the typical behavior

• @RT small tranmission loss fast saturation• @ T=-23oC increase of light yield no saturation due to

slow recovery

long release times: V.Dormenev, M.Korzhik et al.

• analysis of TSL data up to 230K delivers no slow time constantsat –10oC or –25oC

• center @580meV (observed in pure PWO) should be suppressed by La/Y doping

• deep trap @700meV (Frenkel defect)

• induced absorption @400nm• release time ~ 2.8h @RT• release time = 125h @ -10oC

= 808h @ -25oC

operation of the calorimeter at –10oC not sufficient

origin of slow recovery processes S. Burachas et al.

results are related to radiation induced structural changes in inclusions of variable valency tungstate oxide complexes WO3-x

due to re-arrangement of oxygen ions.

S.Burachas et al., J. Crystal Growth 293(2006)62

the changes proceed slower at reduced temperatures

thermal energy insufficient for recovery

in contrast: evaluations of the TSL-parameters in the temperaturerange between 180K and 300K by Korzhik et al. lead

to trap-lifetimes of 4 < < 250s @ 248K

• consequences, further experiments and outlook 1/3

• optimum experimental resolution and stabilization (constant term)will rely on very sophisticated monitoring

probably not!
