Investigation of the cryogenic scintillation of pure and doped sodium-iodine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We have studied the scintillation of pure and doped sodium iodide crystals handled in low humidity conditions under external α and γ excitation from room temperature down to 4 K. The light yield of pure sodium iodide was seen to increase at low temperatures by a factor 30 compared to room temperature, up to a maximum of 40 photons/keV under γ excitation at 60 K, stabilizing to 30 photons/keV at lower temperatures. Thallium doped sodium iodide fluctuates by 20% around the room temperature value, stabilizing at 40 photons/keV at low temperature. α/γ quenching factor stabilizes at roughly 0.7 for both materials beneath 50 K. Time constants of both materials slow greatly at low temperature, reaching tens of microseconds. Cryogenic applications of these materials are complexified by their mechanical fragility and hygroscopicity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
