The performance test of a CsI(T1) crystal (70×27×23 mm~3) was performed by applying the pulse shape discrimination technique for identification oflight charged pafflcles , The crystal is coupled to a photomultiplier tube during an experiment with ~6He beam. The pulse waveform is fully recorded by employing a high precision digital oscilloscope. The fast and slow gates are used for the pulse shape discrimination and the best values for the gate widths were determined to be 0.5 μs and 1.67 μs, respectively. The ~6He, ~4He and ~3He are successfully discnminated with this technique.
