| Abstract | The scintillation properties of CdWO$_{4}$ (CWO) crystals have been studied to develop an X-ray scanner for a cargo container. The CWO crystal is composed of higher effective-Z-number materials, and it has a high density, therefore, a high detection efficiency for X-rays and γ-rays is expected. We selected various CWO crystals made in Russia (Novosibirsk) and China for comparison. The X-ray luminescence and the scintillation properties were studied with various sizes (4 × 4 × 30 mm$^{3}$, 4 × 7 × 30 mm$^{3}$ and 4 × 12 × 30 mm$^{3}$) for polished and unpolished crystals. The transmittance of the CWO crystals was found to be 75% in the visible range. The X-ray emission spectrum of CWO crystals showed a peak at 480 nm. The scintillation properties, like the decay time, the energy resolution and the light yield, were measured and compared by using gamma source excitation. All samples exhibited similar decay times, with a value of 12 µs. The light yield and the energy resolution of the Russian samples were found to be significantly better than those of the Chinese samples. The proton response and radiation hardness of the CWO crystal were studied by using the 45-MeV proton beam from the MC-50 cyclotron at the KIRAMS (Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Science). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
