Abstract :
Measurements are reported of the resolution and linearity of Hamamatsu S1337 Photodiodes mounted on a NaI crystal and exposed to electron energy deposits of up to 80 GeV. The results indicate that these diodes can replace photomultipliers in high-light-yield detectors such as NaI and BGO, when operated in multi-element, compact assemblies in the presence of a magnetic field.
