Abstract

A new and simple technique has been developed using plastic scintillator detectors for gamma ray and cosmic ray spectroscopy without single channel analyzer (SCA) or multichannel analyzer (MCA). In these experiments only a leading edge discriminator (LED) and NIM scalers have been used. Energy calibration of gamma spectra in plastic scintillators has been done using Co⁶⁰ and Cs¹³⁷ sources. The details of the experimental technique, analysis procedure and experimental results have been presented in this paper.
