Rodnyi, P.A. Dorenbos, P. Faculty Applied Sciences Department Radiation, Radionuclides and Reactors Date 2010-06-02 Abstract Nonproportional response of the scintillation yield of NaI:Tl was measured using highly monochromatic synchrotron irradiation ranging from 9–100 keV. Special attention is paid to the x-ray escape peaks. They provide us additional information about photon response in the range 0.9–12 keV. A rapid variation in the photon response curve is observed near the iodine K-electron binding energy. A dense sampling of data is performed around this energy and that data are used to apply a method, which we call K-dip spectroscopy. This method allows us to derive the electron response curve of NaI:Tl down to energies as low as 30 eV. A comparison of our data with data of others employing different methods is made. Advantages, limitations, and peculiarities of presented techniques and methods are discussed.
