Na-22 Measurements of Several Samples

Experimental Set Up

Identical setup as was used here. Runs were performed on DMR10, DMR-12, and a long piece of generic plastic scintillator. Runs were done in 20mm intervals for 10 minutes each. This was done as an extrapolation of runs done on 20170110 to further investigate the attenuation coefficient of an unloaded scintillator.

Runs were also done on a piece of generic scintillator (DIMENSIONS) to investigate attenuation coefficients of plastics not fabricated in the lab.
