Discussion :-

1. Scintillation counter is kept fixed at its operating voltage

2. U.L.D voltage is chosen (in our case 0.05 volts) and kept fixed through the experiment .
3. Changing the L.L.D voltage both counts with source and without source (to measure the background
count) Is taken at each L.L.D voltage .
4. This process have repeated for diff sources to obtain their pulse spectra.
