CsI(Na) is another widely used material nowadays. It’s High light output (85% of NaI(TI)), emission in the blue spectral region (in coincidence with the maximum sensitivity range of the most popular PMT with bialkali photocathodes). Lower hygroscopicity in comparison with NaI(TI) to make this material alternative for NaI(TI) in many standard applications. The temperature dependence of light output can be 80°C max. The decay time of CsI(Na) depends on the dopant concentration, it’s an excellent material in oil logging industry.
