Abstract
The currently existing macroscopic theories of scintillation spectrometers with a single photodetector have a number of fundamental drawbacks. The drawbacks can be overcome by a correct microscopic description of the processes occurring when the energy of the primary particle is converted into an output signal of the scintillation spectrometer. The mathematical model formulated in this work is the basis for the standard theory of scintillation spectrometers with a single photodetector, which allows one to obtain expressions for arbitrary moments of the signal distribution function at the output of the scintillation spectrometer. It is shown that the developed standard theory of scintillation spectrometers with a single photodetector does not have the drawbacks of other theories of scintillation spectrometers. In particular, the contribution to the energy resolution associated with the light yield nonlinearity of the scintillator is considered in the developed standard theory.
