摘要
This report presents recent progress of a study on the radiation damage in lead tungstate (PbWO4) crystals. The dose rate dependence of radiation damage in PbWO4 has been observed, confirming our early prediction based upon a kinetic model of color centers. An optimization of the oxygen compensation through post-growth thermal annealing, carried out in Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, has led to PbWO4 crystals with significantly improved radiation hardness. A comparison between front versus uniform irradiations revealed that the later caused a factor of 2 to 6 times more severe damage. A measurement of a preliminary batch of lanthanum doped PbWO4 crystals indicates that the La doping seems not a determine factor for PbWO4 radiation hardness improvement. Finally, a TEM/EDS analysis confirmed our previous conjecture that the radiation damage in PbWO4 crystals is caused by oxygen vacancies.
