Nal(TI) Total Absorption Detector for Electrons and γ-Rays at GeV Energies

Nature volume 221, pages 228–230 (1969)Cite this article

Abstract

A total absorption Nal(TI) detector can be used to define the energy of an incident electron, or γ-ray, to a precision of I to 2 per cent in the range of 4 to 14 GeV.
