PePPO NaI PositronDetector 4 JLab
Detector setup for a NaI positron detector for PePPO
NaI detector
The PMT is powered by a HV supply which should have a DC ripple less than 200 mV peak-to-peak at 3kV/3mA. A DC ripple will change the gain of the PMT and cause the energy resolution to deteriorate.
The Linearity of the detector system is another way to reduce the energy resolution. The measured PMT output should be linear with the input signal when the gain is constant. This linearity can be measured using 2 radiation sources.
