A Comparative Study of Field Gamma-ray Spectrometry by NaI(Tl) and HPGe Detectors in the South Caspian Region
Natural radionuclides present in soil as well as certain anthropogenic radionuclides released to the environment are the major contributors to terrestrial outdoor exposures. In the assessment of human exposures from environmental radioactivity, besides the conventional method of soil and vegetation sampling combined with laboratory based analyses of environmental media, the other choice would b...
متن کاملGamma Ray Astronomy with Underground Detectors
Underground detectors measure the directions of up-coming muons of neutrino origin. They can also observe down-going muons made by gamma rays in the Earth’s atmosphere. Although gamma ray showers are muon-poor, they produce a sufficient number of muons to detect the sources observed by GeV and TeV telescopes. With a threshold higher by one hundred and a probability of muon production of about 1...
متن کاملScanner for gamma-ray detectors
The core principle of segmented detectors like AGATA [1], GRETA [2], that will be used in future for 4π gamma detection arrays, is the application of the concept of pulse shape analysis (PSA). The key ingredient for this analysis is a data base containing pulses for all the interaction points inside the segmented detector. A full 3D scanning of the detectors, which experimentally determines pul...
متن کاملPlatelet growth of mercuric iodide
The Faile growth method, when used with purified mercuric iodide (HgI2), along with low molecular weight polyethylene, has yielded tetragonal prismatic HgI2 crystals. Thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (TD-GC/MS) studies reveal the existence of alkanes and ketones in the growth ampoules along with low molecular weight polyethylene, presumably decomposition byproducts from, ...
متن کاملA Manipulator Control System for Creating Radiation Maps Using Mercuric Iodide (HgI2) Detectors
In this paper we describe the development of a robotic system that uses Mercuric Iodide (HgI2) sensors to create a map of radiation intensity in the environment. The sensors are mounted at the end-effector of a PUMA 560 manipulator. Data from these sensors is used to compute the radiation intensity. A control system is developed that moves the endeffector along constant intensity contours. The ...
