Poisson Distribution of Radioactive Decay
In this experiment we observe the distribution of radiation emitted by a Cs source. Using a scintillation counter, we count the number of gamma rays emitted by the radiation source at four different mean count rates: 1 sec−1, 4 sec−1, 10 sec−1, and 100 sec−1. From this we can plot the distribution of counts/sec versus the frequency of count rate. We find the distributions for the different mean...
متن کاملPoisson Statistics of Radioactive Decay
Poisson statistics were studied using the radioactive decay of Cs as a source. A scintillation counter measured gamma rays emitted by Cs as well as background from cosmic rays and other experiments in the laboratory. Data from approximate mean rates of 1, 4, 10 and 100 counts/sec was compared to both theoretical Poisson distributions and Monte Carlo simulations. The reduced chi squared values f...
متن کاملPhysics process validation of Geant4 (Draft)
We have investigated the validity of our simulator. The validation item that we have already performed are summarized as follows. 1. Whether the energy loss distribution follows the Landau’s distribution. • thin absorber of Silicon 2. Whether the energy loss along per unit length follows the formula of Bethe-Bloch for protons. • thick absorber of Silicon • thick absorber of Lead 2 Landau’s dist...
متن کاملIs Radioactive Decay Really Exponential?
Radioactive decay of an unstable isotope is widely believed to be exponential. This view is supported by experiments on rapidly decaying isotopes but is more difficult to verify for slowly decaying isotopes. The decay of 14C can be calibrated over a period of 12,550 years by comparing radiocarbon dates with dates obtained from dendrochronology. It is well known that this approach shows that rad...
متن کاملRadioactive Decay Caused by Neutrinos?
The result of a long-term experiment is presented and discussed. The experiment aimed at testing the hypothesis that radioactive β-decay might be caused by the omnipresent neutrino flux coming from the sun and other sources, by trying to find a positive correlation between the decay rate of tritium and the annually varying solar neutrino flux, due to the annually changing distance from sun to e...
