A Study of NaBi(WO4)2 as a Cherenkov Radiator

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the properties of NaBi(WO4)2 and determine its usefulness as a Cherenkov radiator. An implicit requirement in this process is to determine the best configuration of a counter using NaBi(WO4)2 to detect the Cherenkov photons using a photomultiplier tube.
