摘要：
A phoswich detector composed of a thin plate CsI(TI) scintillator and a plastic scintillator (BC-400) has been designed and evaluated in order to improve the sensitivity in the low-energy region of a large-area plastic scintillation detector. This newly designed phoswich detector can be applied to both gross gamma measurement and energy spectrometry for low-energy gamma-ray emitters. Judging by estimations of minimum detectable activity, the lower measurable energy of a large-area plastic scintillation detector can be expanded down to a few tens of keV by adding a thin plate CsI(TI) scintillator.
