“…We chose the FWHM energy resolutions of CaF 2 and PVT based on the energy resolution of NaI, and consideration of the number of optical photons produced by these materials relative to NaI (50% and 25% for CaF 2 and PVT, respectively). Experiments with quite different geometries from ours have obtained energy resolutions in PVT ranging from 10%[14] to 25%[15]. Of course, these quantities should be determined by experiment, for the particular configuration of scintillator and light-collection device chosen, and this will be the next phase of our detector design program.…”

We are designing an all-scintillator Compton gamma imager for use in security investigations and remediation actions involving radioactive threat material. To satisfy requirements for a rugged and portable instrument, we have chosen solid scintillator for the active volumes of both the scatter and absorber detectors. Using the BEAMnrc/EGSnrc Monte Carlo simulation package, we have constructed models using four different materials for the scatter detector: LaBr3, NaI, CaF2 and PVT. We have compared the detector performances using angular resolution, efficiency, and image resolution. We find that while PVT provides worse performance than that of the detectors based entirely on inorganic scintillators, all of the materials investigated for the scatter detector have the potential to provide performance adequate for our purposes.
