Description

The pulse height distributions from eleven kinds of scintillators coupled with a photomultiplier (PMT) and with a silicon photodiode were measured for gamma-ray energies between 14 keV and 1836 keV and compared. The numbers of photoelectrons from the PMT photocathode and those of electron-hole pairs in the photodiode were obtained. The intrinsic pulse height broadening was clearly demonstrated in NaI(T1), CsI(Na), CsI(T1) and CsI(pure) scintillators
