Abstract

The energy resolution of 125 and 50 mm diameter cylindrical NE102A detectors and 25 mm × 19 mm (height × diameter) NE230(C6D6) deuterated scintillator has been measured for monoenergetic gamma rays with an energy of 0.5-1.3 MeV. Over this energy range, the energy resolution of 125 mm NE102A detector varies from 22.8 to 13.2% and from 19.6 to 11.5% for the 50 mm NE102A detector. The measured energy resolution of the NE230 scintillator varies from 12.9 to 7.0% over the same energy range. The energy resolution of NE102A detectors and C6D6 scintillator is in good agreement with the energy resolution of NE213 detectors with comparable size.
