We are performing an experiment to detect radon with the help of Emanatory technique and we are not able to fixed the right EHT voltage for Lucas cell PMT. Can anyone suggest how to proceed?
The operating voltage for a scintillation detector can vary depending on several factors, including the specific type of scintillator material used and the desired performance characteristics. However, typical operating voltages for scintillation detectors can range from several hundred to several thousand volts.
For example, sodium iodide (NaI) scintillation detectors, which are commonly used in gamma-ray spectroscopy, typically operate at voltages ranging from around 600 to 1500 volts. Other scintillator materials may have different optimal operating voltages.
It's important to consult the specifications provided by the manufacturer of the scintillation detector being used to determine the recommended operating voltage for that particular device. Additionally, experimental calibration and optimization may be necessary to achieve the best performance for a specific application.
