Influence of depth of interaction upon the performance of scintillator detectors.

Influence of depth of interaction upon the performance of scintillator detectors.

The uncertainty in time of particle detection within a scintillator detector, characterised by the coincidence time resolution (CTR), is explored with respect to the interaction position within the scintillator crystal itself. Electronic collimation between two scintillator detectors is utilised to...
