An extension of previous work on the analysis of pulseheight distributions obtained with gamma-ray sources placed inside well-type NaI(Tl) crystals is discussed. Two methods are given for the determination of the photopeak efficiency of these NaI spectrometers. It is shown that the summing propertv of the well-type crystal can be used to obtain the source strength and to yield information on the decay scheme of gamma-ray sources The photofraction, photopeak efficiency, and resolution are given for a 5-in. diameter by 3-in. long NaI crystal with a 1-in. diameter well.
