Factors affecting the registration and counting of alpha tracks in solid state nuclear track detectors
In view of the fact that the radon progeny contribute the highest to the natural radiation dose to general populations, large scale and long-term measurements of radon and its progeny in the houses have been receiving considerable attention. Solid State Nuclear Track Detector (SSNTD) based systems, being the best suited for large scale passive monitoring, have been widely used for the radon gas...
متن کاملEffects of etching time on alpha tracks in solid state nuclear track detectors.
Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTDs) are used extensively for monitoring alpha particle radiation, neutron flux and cosmic ray radiation. Radon gas inhalation is regarded as being a significant contributory factor to lung cancer deaths in the UK each year. Gas concentrations are often monitored using CR39 based SSNTDs as the natural decay of radon results in alpha particles which form t...
متن کاملAlpha radioactivity in Indian cement samples
ABSTRACT Background: The essential constituents of cements like lime, silica and alumina are derived from earth’s crust in which radioactive elements like uranium, thorium etc are also present in varying amounts almost everywhere. These two elements are considered as the parent elements of uranium and thorium radioactive decay series in which radon and thoron are produced respectively as decay...
متن کاملAlpha Particle Track Detection with Celluloid Films
The solid state track detector of celluloid films (cellulose nitrate+camphor 25% an weight) using etching technique is suitable for low energy alpha particle detection . The critical rate of energy loss for track formation in celluloid films is determined as 1 .3 MeV/mg•Ecm2. Irradiated samples are etched in NaOH (6 N) solution at 46•Ž for 10 minutes . The etched tracks are observed under a vie...
متن کاملMeasurement of radium micro-precipitates using alpha spectrometry and total alpha counting methods
Background: This study consists of two parts. The first part deals with both qualitative and quantitative analysis of 226Ra using alpha spectrometry measurement method. In the second part, the percentage of radioactive equilibrium between 226 Ra and its daughter products were determined by alpha spectrometry and total alpha measurement system after elapsed time of 15 days from precipitation. Ma...
