Description

As the radon assay team attempts to create low background ZnS(Ag) scintillator in-house, a new system to test this scintillator is needed. Through work on calibration sources and analysis of photomultiplier tube responses, a system of determining background counts and light yield relative to commercial scintillator has been developed.
