Speaker

Prof. Nural Akchurin (TTU)

Description

We show that the signals from a high-Z scintillating crystal (BSO) can be separated into a scintillation and a Cherenkov component by making use of the fact that the latter component is polarized. These studies will be summarized in view of the possible application of such crystals in dual-readout systems and wider application of polarization in calorimetry.
