Sodium Iodide Detectors

NaI(Tl) scintillation crystals are used in most standard applications for detection of Gamma radiation because of their unequalled high light output and the excellent match of the emission spectrum to the sensitivity of photomultiplier tubes, resulting in a good energy resolution.
