Three pulse-shape-discrimination (PSD) methods are applied to study the particle identification (PID) by using CsI(Tl) crystal, especially for identifying light charged particles. The zero-cross time method, fast and total component method and signal rise time method are used. The experiment, data analysis and results are compared. Good PID for p, α and γ can be achieved with a CsI(Tl)-photomultiplier assembly.
