Abstract

A scintillation detector based on a silicon photodetector of a new type—a solid-state photomultiplier—and a single-crystal CsI(Tl) scintillator was investigated. The effect of temperature on the low-energy detection threshold and the energy resolution of the detector and the influence of the radiation level on the detector efficiency (i.e., the influence of the counting rate of the distortion in the recorded spectrum shape) were estimated. A mathematical model of the detector was developed in order to assess its parameters.
