| dc.description.abstract | This project is documentation of a scintillator radiation detector for gamma spectroscopy. Gamma radiation causes a scintillator crystal to illuminate, which is captured and converted to an electrical signal. The detector works by measuring electrical pulses from the output of a photomultiplier tube (PMT). The amplitude of these pulses is proportional to the energy of the radiation. By creating a histogram with x-axis of energy and y axis of “# of counts”, the energy spectrum of the radiation can be identified and analyzed. | |
