Scintillation counters are basically made up of the following main components: a scintillation material (crystal), a photodetector (photomultiplier in this case) which is used to count flashes (scintillations) from the crystal and an electronic pulse forming and pulse height discriminating circuit. The scintillation crystal is typically sodium iodide. Operation of Scintillation Counter The energy from…
