Abstract :
A study has been made of the scintillation, luminescent and kinetic characteristics of full size (25 radiation lengths) PbWO4 single crystals, obtained in optimal condition. It is shown that the light yield of the crystals is 111-14 phe/MeV, the decay time constants are fast (less than 100 ns), depending upon crystallization features, medium of growth and thermal annealing. The role of the oxygen content in these processes is discussed
