Solid state scintillators for gamma spectrometry

Creators

  • 1. Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Catania (Italy)

Description

Using different scintillator crystals, measurements of energy resolution and detection efficiency have been performed to detect gamma rays of energy ranging between 500 en 1550 KeV. This investigation is devoted to characterize the best systems to detect photons coming from positron annihilation processes, such as a PET apparatus where the medical image is the final aim of the investigation, and gamma emission from radioisotopes of biomedical interest
