COMPTON SPECTROMETER USING SUPERPOSITION OF PULSES

Journal Article · · Pribory i Tek. Ekspt.
OSTI ID:4321837
After a brief discussion of the operation of the Compton spectrometer using two scintillation crystals, a description is given of a method which permits a substantial increase of the efficiency of the spectrometer without deterioration in its resolving characteristics. A central and two side crystals are used. The increase in efficiency is obtained by increasing the solid angle of resolution by combination of the pulses from all three crystals. The efficiency of the spectrometer was 1.9%, whereas the efficiency of the normal Compton spectrometer is 0.068%. (J.S.R.)
