Custom General-Purpose NaI(Tl) Detectors
Detectors Based on Thallium-Activated Sodium Iodide (NaI(Tl)) Single Crystals
NaI(Tl) single crystals are currently the most widely used scintillation material due to their:
-
High scintillation efficiency
-
Good energy resolution
-
High density
-
Sufficiently fast response time
Detectors based on NaI(Tl) single crystals are suitable for most applications involving the detection and spectrometry of gamma and X-ray radiation.
