Abstract :
A study has been made of the scintillation, luminescent and kinetic characteristics of full size (25 radiation lengths) PbWO4 single crystals, obtained in the optimal condition. It is shown that the light yield of the crystals is 11-14 phe/MeV, the constants of decay time are less than 100 ns, depending upon crystallization features, medium of growth, the oxygen content and thermal annealing
