Hi there, I don't know any scintillator source in the EU. If somebody has one, please let me know as well 😄 BC412 is okay in theory. However, there are two things to keep in mind:
Not to say it wouldn't work just counting pulses, but it's not that ideal. You'll have to try it out. Hope that helps! |

Not really an issue, therefore I moved the topic to the Q&A discussions. |

No problem, yeah sadly I don’t have any good place to source the crystals here in EU, they are apparently pretty rare even at my uni which sucks 😅. The sources I found on ebay were: Of the ones I mentioned what do you think would be the best? I am strongly considering the LYSO, since it technically comes with it’s own check source. |

I've achieved good results using small reverse tweezers with rubberized tips to fix the SiPMs to the board and then carefully soldering them in place. IMO it is vital to not put any solder on the pads or on the SiPM before placing the SiPM on the board. Coplanarity can then be checked with a suitable light source. |

Hi, would a plastic scintillator be suitable for the detector of would the output be too weak? I can get a cube of 50x50x10mm of BC412 for a reasonable price shipped to EU. I know that plastic scintillator have weaker output than NaI(Tl) or CsI(Tl), however the volume of the scintillator would also be greater. Or if you have other good scintillator source suggestion in EU it would be welcome.
But I like the BC412 since it should be pretty indestructible and moisture resistant.
Thanks!
