Understanding Neutron Radiography Post Exam Reading VIII-Part 2a of 2A

System Electronics
Once the output pulse from a photomultiplier tube is generated, it is amplified
and analyzed. The pulse height, or amplitude, is proportional to the amount of
energy deposited within the scintillator and can be correlated to a count rate
or scale of microsievert per second (μSv·s –1 ) or milliroentgen per hour
(mR·h –1 ) when calibrated against a known energy source. (See Fig. 18.)
