FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Detector time stability and segment-to-segment uniformity in energy (Erec), longitudinal position resolution (σz), and detection rate (R). Quantities are calculated for 214Po (black) and 215Po (blue) alpha decays and neutron-hydrogen captures uniformly distributed throughout the detector (magenta), and for 137Cs (red) source deployments. Reconstructed quantities are described inmore » more detail in the text. All quantities are shown relative to the average of all points in the data set. All error bars represent statistical uncertainties.« less
