Low Level Liquid Scintillation Counting of Radioactivity in Food Products
The production rate is 7.5 kg isotope C-14 yearly. The C-14 concentration stays approximately constant due to rapid mixing of the atmosphere, although the cosmic intensity is higher at the poles due to the deflection of charged cosmic particles along the magnetic field lines of the earth (corresponding to neutron intensities in the ratio 5:1 at the poles and the equator, respectively). Conseque...
متن کاملDevelopment of a low background liquid scintillation counter for a shallow underground laboratory.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has recently opened a shallow underground laboratory intended for measurement of low-concentration levels of radioactive isotopes in samples collected from the environment. The development of a low-background liquid scintillation counter is currently underway to further augment the measurement capabilities within this underground laboratory. Liquid scintill...
متن کاملOptimization and Calibration of a Low-background Liquid Scintillation Counter for the Simultaneous Determination of Alpha
The use of low-background liquid scintillation counting (ISC) techniques permits the simultaneous measurement of both alpha and beta emitters with efficiencies close to 100%. In this study, the counting parameters of a Wallac 1220TM Quantulus IS counter have been optimized for the best possible separation of the a and 3 spectra when measuring a sample containing 8 ml of water and 12 ml of Optip...
متن کاملThe Scintillation Counter
The development of detectors for both counting and measuring the energy of particles and photons has played an important role in the evolution of nuclear physics. In this experiment, you will be introduced to one such detector the scintillation counter which is particularly suitable for detecting γ-ray photons. You will use it to observe the energy spectrum of γ-rays from several nuclei and stu...
متن کاملLow Background Liquid Scintillation in Borexino
After a short introduction to solar neutrino physics, this paper describes the design concept and expected performance of the Borexino underground detector at Gran Sasso. Low background results from the Counting Test Facility, the rst phase of the Borexino project, are summarized.
