YSO vs. NaI:
- NaI is easily deliquesced
- NaI is toxic
- NaI is fragile
- NaI needs to be sealed in aluminum alloy to prevent deliquescing and damage, increasing the size and weight of the detector
YSO vs. Ion Chamber:
- Ion chamber needs to be large in order to have good detection capability
- At the same size, YSO has much higher sensitivity
- Ion chamber is extremely sensitive to the environment (i.e. humidity, temperature, air pressure)
