The values of the ADC weighting exponent and have been determined by optimizing the average angular resolution of both the NaI and CsI detectors. Using the GEANT code to simulate the box spectrum of 55-83 MeV photons from the single charge exchange reaction , the average angular resolution has been minimized with respect to and . The plots of against are shown in Fig. 5.1 for the CsI and NaI detectors. The cut imposed on these measurements requires that the sum of the energies deposited into the ``inner'' (See Chapter 2) detectors of each array exceed 50 MeV.

From Fig. 5.1, it is clear that the optimal values for the weighting exponents are , and .
