Abstract

Energy resolution and difference of maximum energy of Compton electrons from half-height of Compton edge was measured experimentally for cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂) and deuterated-cycloheane (C₆D₁₂) scintillators for monoenergetic γ-rays using γ-γ coincidence technique. For 0.5-1.2 MeV gamma rays, the energy resolution of C₆D₁₂ and C₆H₁₂ scintillators vary from 26.6 to 14.0 % and 31.1 to 15.7 % respectively. The corresponding energy difference between the maximum Compton electron energy and the half height of the Compton edge for C₆D₁₂ and C₆H₁₂ scintillators vary from 15.3 to 6.3 % and 14.0 to 7.33 % respectively. Energy resolution of C₆D₁₂ and C₆H₁₂ scintillators is 14-31 % and 18-31 % poorer than that of the identical C₆D₆ and C₆H₆ scintillators.
