Abstract

Time spectra of 90Sr, 137Cs and 207Bi radioactive sources were obtained by using a BC 400 type plastic scintillation detectors in different thicknesses. Time resolution values through the time spectra were obtained by means of leading edge and constant fraction timing methods. The obtained time resolution values from leading edge method were compared with those of constant fraction timing method.
