Abstract

We describe a setup we developed for the measurement of scintillation properties of crystals, from room temperature down to 3 K, under α and γ particle irradiation which resolves lines from both types of excitations. This setup is described here and we report some results obtained with this setup on BGO (Bi4Ge3O12) and ZnWO4 crystals.
