TLDR
In this paper, a CsI(Tl) scintillator with two light decay components is used to detect and identify p, d, t, 3 He and α particles with a low energy threshold.Abstract:
A CsI(Tl) scintillator with two light decay components is used to detect and identify p, d, t, 3 He and α particles with a low energy threshold. Besides, the addition of a thin plastic scintillator in front of the CsI(Tl) crystal allows charge identification for ions with Z up to 19.read more

A note on the application of BaF2 scintillators to γ-ray and charged particle detection
TL;DR: In this article, two practical aspects of the application of BaF2 crystals as detectors for nuclear radiation are considered: (1) wavelength shifting of the fast UV light component by a thin p-terphenyl layer, and (2) identification of light charged particles by measuring the intensity ratio between the fast and slow light components.
