Efficiency Calibration of Ge Detectors in Wide Energy Range with Natural Thorium And
Introduction We would like to present the use of another natural radionuclide chain, that of 232Th. It is suggested to be used as a relative energy calibrator, while absolute calibration will be done by a standard source of 137Cs which, due to its long half-life, requires a change of the calibrated standard only in about 30 to 50 years. Most Ge detector/MCA set-ups are calibrated for energy and...
متن کاملNew approach for calibration of pixelated scintillation detectors of intraoperative gamma cameras
Introduction:SURGEOSIGHT is a dedicated intra-operative hand-held gamma camera designed and manufactured by our team to be used for lymphoscintigraphy. Although conventional gamma cameras are widely used, they lack the capability of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging in the operation room. Like conventional gamma cameras it is necessary to calibrate SURGEOSIGHT for linearity...
متن کاملHigh Accuracy Calibration of Photon-Counting Detectors
We discuss a practical implementation of a photon-counting detector calibration using correlated photon pairs produced by parametric down-conversion. In this calibration scheme, the detection of a first photon triggers the measurement sequence aimed at detection of a second photon by a detector under test (DUT). We also describe measurements of radiant power with a photon-counting detector, whi...
متن کاملEnergy calibration of large underwater detectors using stopping muons
We propose to use stopping cosmic-ray muons in the energy calibration of planned and deployed large underwater detectors. The method is based on the proportionality between the incident muon energy and the length of the muon path before it stops. Simultaneous measurements of the muon path and the amplitude of the signal from the photomultiplier tubes allow a relation between the energy deposite...
متن کاملHigh-Count-Rate Spectroscopy with Ge Detectors: Quantitative Evaluation of the Performance of High-Rate Systems1
There is increasing interest in germanium detector gamma-ray spectroscopy performed at high and ultra-high count rates. Applications exist in fields as diverse as neutron-activation analysis, post-accident sampling, stack monitoring, and fuelpin scanning. The publication of a recent paper claiming exceptional performance for an ultra-high-count-rate package of instruments is the catalyst for th...
