Interest in the luminescence of pure CsI is mainly caused by the possible application of this crystal as a scintillator with very good timing parameters. Fast UV-luminescence of CsI has been studied by time resolved luminescent spectroscopy. Experimental data support the conclusion that the high temperature (150--500 K) fast UV-luminescence arises from the trapping of free excitons in sites perturbed by lattice defects.
