Abstract
A method for preparing and mounting NaI‐TlI crystals for scintillation spectrometers which gives high optical efficiency, stability and good gamma‐ray energy resolution is described. Variations in energy resolution of photomultipliers and NaI‐TlI crystals is shown. Approximately 200‐ev electron energy loss in a NaI‐TlI crystal is required to release a single photoelectron from a photocathode whose efficiency is 60 microamperes per lumen.Keywords
