TOTAL-ABSORPTION SCINTILLATION COUNTER FOR HIGH-ENERGY PHOTONS
A total-absorption scintillation counter for high-energy photons is developed with plus or minus % energy spread for 130-Mev photons. The counter is built of enough plastic scintillator to contain most of the energy and maintain a high detection efficiency. The technique of observing a statistical sampling of light from an integrating volume is used. The integrating volume is obtained by painting the surface of the counter with a diffuse reflector and detecting the light with a large number of photomultiplier tubes placed symmetrically about the counter. Use of a scintillator enabled the use of a light source of high intensity, thus assuring optimum photon statistics. (auth)
