Question 3: (40 points) a) What common detectors are insensitive to the energy of gammas/betas? b) If I were to tell you to use a SCA as a MCA to analyze a mixture of two energies of gamma rays (say 137Cs and 60Co) using a GM tube, why would you say it is impossible?
c) If instead I gave you a sodium iodide detector assembly, a bias source, a preamplifier, a shaper, a SCA (like the one used in C120), an oscilloscope, and all the cords needed, how would you be able to use these to separately determine the counting rates of the two components above?
