Title: CESIUM IODIDE AS A GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER

Journal Article · · IRE Trans. Nuclear Sci.

Thallium-activated cesium iodide is discussed as a gamma spectrometer that should have advantages over thalliumactivated sodium iodide at high gamma - ray energies. Data are presented which were obtained with a 5-in. diameter by 3 1/2-in. high right cylinder of thallium-activated cesium iodide viewed with a 3- in.-diameter photomultiplier. These data include linearity of response from 80 kev to 7.2 Mev, resolution as a function of gamma -ray energy, and photofractions as a function of gamma -ray energy for collimated radiation. (auth)
