Abstract
The GAINS spetrometer at GELINA facility was developed to study inelastic neutron scattering cross sections to help develop a new generation of nuclear reactors. The GAINS spectrometer consists of twelve HPGe detectors in a rear-hemispherical configuration . HPGe detectors have excellent en- ergy resolution. The use of HPGe detectors pose certain issues like high operational costs and small crystal size i.e. less coverage area. In this research four CsI and one NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors were characterized and optimized. Emphasis was given on optimizing individual detector parameters to obtain best energy resolution. Data acquisition was done using 60Co and 22Na as gamma sources. Obtained experimental data and data procured from GAINS experiments was used to develop Monte Carlo simulations. The data acquired from these simulations of GAINS spectrometer along with NaI and CsI based GAINS-like setups was compared. The viability of the CsI and NaI(Tl) detectors to be used in a similar config- uration to GAINS was investigated. Results presented in this thesis are based on energy dependent characteristics of HPGe, NaI(Tl) and CsI based detection setups.
