Studies of scintillation light nonproportionality of ZnSe(Te), CsI(Tl) and YAP(Ce) crystals using heavy ions

• The scintillation light yield for ZnSe(Te), CsI(T1) and YAP(Ce) crystals have been studied with alpha particles, C-12 and Br-81 in the energy region 2.8-42.2 MeV. A nonproportional behavior was observed, mostly pronounced for alpha particles on YAP(Ce). The results are understood in terms of delta-rays effect.
