Abstract

The resolving time values of the coincidence spectrometers composed by NaI(Tl) inorganic, BC408 type and BC418 type organic scintillation detectors were obtained in this work. For this purpose, fast–fast coincidence measurements were carried out. Best timing performance was obtained by BC418 type plastic scintillator for various source-detector distances.
