Abstract
The response of PbWO4 to high-energy protons has been investigated in two test experiments at the proton facilities Cosy and AGOR. The determined energy resolution below 360 MeV of sigma/E = 1.44%/E-gamma(1/2) + 1.97% is comparable to the known photon response. Measured spectra of inelastically scattered protons below 85 MeV are even compared to similar distributions obtained for BaF2- and CeF3-detectors. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
