19. A radiation detector device, comprising:
-
a scintillation device including a scintillator crystal and at least one stabilizing mechanism, wherein the at least one stabilization mechanism is adapted to apply a total stabilization pressure of less than approximately 100 psi to the scintillator crystal; a photosensor; and a photon counter device adapted to count photons emitted by the scintillator crystal based on electrical pulses received from the photosensor, the electrical pulses output by the photosensor based on photons received at the photosensor from the scintillation device; wherein counts per second recorded by the photon counter, when vibrational frequencies of from approximately 50 Hz to approximately 1450 Hz are applied to the radiation detector device at a load of less than or equal to approximately 30 G, average less than or equal to 116% of an average background value. - View Dependent Claims (20, 24, 26, 27, 29, 36, 40)
