The photofraction of a 5.1 cm x 2.0 cm bismuth germanate (BGO) scintillator was measured over a ..gamma..-ray energy range of 0.2 to 6.1 MeV. Several methods, used to minimize the effect of ''room scattering'' on the measurement, are discussed. These include a ..gamma..-..gamma.. coincidence technique, a ..beta..-..gamma.. coincidence technique, and the use of sources calibrated with a standard 7.6 cm x 7.6 cm sodium iodide (NaI) scintillator.
