GAIN-SHIFT VERSUS COUNTING RATE IN CERTAIN MULTIPLIER PHOTOTUBES
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4006775
Multiplier phototubes used in scintillation counting show shifts in gain when subjected to high counting rates. The nature of these shifts varies significantly from tube to tube. The gain shift characteristic of certain phototubes was examined to establish a basis for selecting quality phototubes for use in gamma-ray scintlllation spectrometry. Of the representative samples of Dumont, RCA, EMI, and CBS phototubes evaluated, the EMI phototubes displayed the highest gain stability. (auth)
