Abstract
THE use of the scintillation counter as a gamma-ray spectrometer has been described by Pringle, Roulston and Taylor1, Johannson2, MacIntyre and Hofstadter3, Cavanagh4 and other workers. However, the resolutions obtained have in general been poor, and quantitative measurements of gamma-ray energies and relative intensities difficult to make.
