    Sodium Iodide Detectors

    Very high light output, good energy resolution.
    Major uses - General scintillation counting, health physics, enviormental monitoring and high temprature use.
     

    Cesium IodideDetctors (Tl)(Na)(undoped)

    Non-hygroscopic, rugged, long wavelength emission.
    High light output, rugged. Geophysical, physics and general radiation detection
     

    BGO Detectors

    BGO detectors are particually suited to the detection of natural radioactivity. With a high density and Z value, BGO also performs well in hight energy applcations. Major uses - Particle physics, geophysical research, PET, anti-Compton spectrometers.
     

    CaF2 Detectors

    Low Z, high light output.
    Major uses - sub nanosecond fast coincidence timing, b detection, a , b phoswiches.
     

    6Lil(Eu) Detectors

    High neutron cross-section, high light output.
    Major uses - Thermal neutron detection and spectroscopy
     

    6Li - glass Detectors

    High neutron cross-section, non-hygroscopic.
    Major uses - Thermal neutron detection
     

    CdWO4

    Very high density, low afterglow, radiation hard.
    Major uses - low afterglow CT applications, DC measurement of X-rays (high intensity), readout with photodiodes, Computerized Tomography (CT).
     

    YAP-(Ce)

    High light output, low Z, fast.
    Major uses - MHz (low energy) X-ray spectroscopy, synchrotron physics.
     

    Plastic Detctors

    Fast, low density and Z, high light output.
    Major uses - Particle detection, beta detection.
    The cost of large plastic scintillation detectors (per volume) is much lower than that of equivalent size NaI(Tl) detectors.
     

    Dynode Chains & Electronics

    There are many options and considerations for the back end electronics of a scintilation detector. The following page outlines some of the options and differences between them.
