Description

An experimental method of calibrating organic detectors is described. A NaI (Tl) detector has some advantages of high detection efficiency, good energy resolution and definite position of back-scattering peak. The precise position of the Compton edge can be determined by coincidence measurement between the pulse of an organic scintillation detector and the pulse of back-scattering peak from NaI (Tl) detector. It can be used to calibrate various sizes and shapes of organic scintillation detectors simply and reliably. The home-made plastic and organic liquid scintillation detectors are calibrated. The positions of Compton edge as a function of γ-ray energies are obtained
