Abstract
CsI is a material that can be used for infrared detector windows and for making scintillators for high energy physics experiments (it is then doped with Thallium). This crystal may have to work in a harsh radiation environment which can cause an undesired signal to be sent to the detector or modify its calibration. It is therefore important to measure the response of this crystal to a flux of neutrons and gamma rays and to study the effects of dose accumulation. Such a study was conducted at the TRIGA nuclear reactor of the University of Illinois.
