A technique for constructing scintillation panels with very large areas using granulated NaI(Tl)
Description
A method has been developed for constructing scintillation panels with very large areas at low cost using granulated NaI(Tl). The panels are equivalent to slabs of sodium iodide, 0.35 mm in thickness giving a quantum efficiency greater than 10% up to a photon energy of 130 keV. Under diffusing lightbox conditions the panels give an output of light 2.5 times greater than that from a single crystal of NaI(Tl). (orig.)
