Cesium iodide CAS#7789-17-5
Cesium iodide is a soft material and extremely hygroscopic. Cesium iodide scintillators have been used extensively for indirect x-ray imaging detectors, such as for CT examinations. Cesium iodide is also used to construct electromagnetic shower detector for the CLEO II experiment, which investigates electron-positron annihilation at center-of-mass energies near 10 GeV. Cesium iodide is useful for beam splitters for Far IR spectrophotometers and IR transmission windows.
