This test included one detector and a collimated Cf-252 source.  The detector was placed 16 inches away from the source collimator.  Tests were performed with various thicknesses of poly in between the two. Each count was 5 minutes long and three counts were taken for each test.  Detector D was used at 1618 volts through channel 3 of LeCroy power supply and a threshold of 77mV set through the blue faced CFD.
