Calibrating and testing tissue equivalent proportional counters with <Superscript>37 </Superscript>Ar
نویسنده
چکیده
A method for testing and calibrating tissue equivalent proportional counters with 37At is described. 37Ar is produced by exposure of argon in its normal isotope composition to thermal neutrons. It is shown that up to volume ratios of 0.01 of argon to the tissue equivalent gas there is no appreciable effect of the argon admixture on the function of the proportional counter. Conventional calibration methods with characteristic x-rays or with a-particles require modifications of the detectors, and they test only small sub-volumes in the counters. In contrast, argon permits calibrations and tests of the resolution that are representative for the entire counter volume and that do not require changes in detector construction. The method is equally applicable to multi-element proportional counters; it is here exemplified by its application to a long cylindrical counter of simplified design that is part of such a multi-element configuration.

A 3D ~H-~SN-13C triple resonance experiment is presented that contains exclusively cross peaks between the ~H N and ~SN nuclei of one residue with the H" of the preceding residue. The pulse sequence, designed to minimize the time coherence, is transverse on nuclei with short T'2 values. The experiment consists of coherence transfers via one-bond couplings from the H N via N, CO, C '~ to the H" ...
