\section{Experimental Method}   \begin{itemize}   \item Scintillator crystals stored out of direct sunlight as well as strong   lighting. Ideally crystals should be processed under a red light alone.   \item Scintillator crystals should be cleaned with Ethanol using carbon-tipped   tweezers on lens tissue to prevent scratching the surfaces.   \item To wrap the scintillator crystal, first cut a long length of PTFE   (Teflon) tape. For 30mm crystal a length of approximately half a metre is   needed. If not wrapped skip to adding grease.   \begin{itemize}   \item Begin by pressing the scintillator crystal onto one edge of the tape   with the tweezers. In doing so, when we begin rolling the tape will adhere to   the crystal. Leave approximately half a millimetre unwrapped at one end to   ensure one face is not covered with tape.   \item Begin rolling the tape about the crystal. Ensure a tight wrap by pulling   tight with the tweezers. Do NOT use bare hands. Ensure at least 5 layers over   all faces of the scintillator crystal.   \item Twist tape at end of crystal tightly to ensure this small face is   properly covered.   \item Press tape into crystal using tweezers to ensure no air remains inside   the tape. Tape should add at least 0.5mm to the thickness of a scintillator   crystal.   \end{itemize}   \item Optical grease with a sufficiently high viscosity can be applied to   the unwrapped end of the scintillator crystal by dip or dropping using a small   cocktail stick. Otherwise, grease should be applied directly to the   photodetector.   \end{itemize}
