Ruggedized scintillation detector with low energy detection capabilities

摘要

A radiation detector (10) includes a housing (12), a crystal (16) and a photomultiplier tube (20) supported in the housing. A plurality of elongated, flat plastic or ceramic springs (50) are located radially between the crystal and photomultiplier tube and the housing, and at least one additional spring is located at one end of the crystal.
