NaI detector, -1030V, 300 mV threshold on gate channel, signal ADC4


Run # source shielding cnts rate Comments
2775 Co-60 some distance away from NaI 2" Pb around, no front shielding
2776 bkgd 2" Pb around, no front shielding
2777 Co-60 on NaI taped 2" Pb around, no front shielding clear 2 big 1.2 and 1.4 MeV peaks, small peak around 4.3 MeV

2782 Cf252 all around 2" Pb around 1.1 kHz Cf252 17" away from NaI
2784 Cf252 all around 2" Pb around 1,372,745 1,142 Hz 20 min run. No shielding in front
2785 Cf252 all around 2" Pb around 153,508 129.5 Hz 20 min run. 2" Pb just after Cf252
2787 Cf252 all around 2" Pb around 1,231,537 1,024 Hz 20 min run. 2" Borated Poly just after Cf252
2788 Cf252 all around 2" Pb around 1,225,232 1,020 Hz 20 min run. 2" NoBorated Poly just after Cf252
2790 Cf252 all around 2" Pb around 132,067 111.6 Hz 20 min run. 2" Pb, 2" Borated Poly just after Cf252
2791 Cf252 all around 2" Pb around 108,603 89.6 Hz 20 min run. 4" Pb just after Cf252
2792 Cf252 all around 2" Pb around 45,904 25.04 Hz 20 min run. background checking
