Abstract

Energy resolution and difference of maximum energy of Compton electrons from half-height of Compton edge was measured experimentally for cyclohexane and deuterated- cycloheane (C₆D₁₂) scintillators for monoenergetic gamma-rays using gamma-gamma coincidence technique. For 0.5- 1.2 MeV gamma rays, the energy resolution of C₆D₁₂ and C₆H₁₂ scintillators vary from 26.6 to 14.0 percent and 31.1 to 15.7 percent respectively. The corresponding energy difference between the maximum Compton electron energy and the half height of the Compton edge for C₆D₁₂ and C₆H₁₂ scintillators vary form 15.3 to 6.3 percent and 14.0 to 7.33 percent respectively. Energy resolution of C₆D₁₂ and C₆H₁₂ scintillators is 14-31 percent and 18-31 percent poorer than that of the identical C₆D₆ and C₆H₆ scintillators.
