We studied process of incomplete energy deposition in long CsI(Tl) crystals, caused by inelastic interactions of impinging nuclear fragment in the scintillating material. The secondary beam from the ACCULINNA fragment separator and the heavy-ion beam from the CELSIUS storage ring were used to measure the yield of this process as a function of the initial energy of incoming fragments. The functional fit to GEANT simulations will be used to correct the energy spectra from future experiments.
