Fast neutron activation analysis has been applied to bulk carbon detection. DT-neutron generator emitting 14.1 MeV neutrons was used as a source. Prompt 4.44 gammas from the inelastic scattering on were detected using 30% HPGe semiconductor gamma spectrometer shielded primary beam. The sensitivity of experimental setup is discussed. Keywords: Activation analysis; neutrons; Gamma spectrometry.

In spite of having higher carrier mobilities and absorption coefficients germanium (Ge) than those silicon (Si), there has been less focus on Ge-based solar cells due to the low bandgap high-cost Ge wafer as well requirement its high-purity level. Currently, availability (HPGe), low-cost slicing method proper design guidelines make it possible HPGe-based cells. Accordingly, in this article, we ...

To obtain high quality of results in gamma spectrometry, it is necessary to calibrate energy and efficiency of gamma detector as accurate as possible. To achieve this aim, utilizing the convenient gamma source can be very useful. Therefore, purpose of present study was to evaluate the determined efficiency by single point gamma sources and multi-nuclides gamma source in a high purity germanium ...

The portable high-resolution spectroscopy system includes an HPGe detector and an ORTEC digiDART (Figure 2). The HPGe detector includes a 3-, 5-, or 7-liter multi-attitude Dewar that allows the detector to be positioned in many directions without a significant loss of liquid nitrogen. The digiDART provides the battery-operated digital spectroscopy system which (1) applies high voltage to the de...

Physics experiments, environmental surveillance, and treaty verification techniques continue to require increased sensitivity for detecting and quantifying radionuclides of interest. This can be done by detecting a greater fraction of gamma emissions from a sample (higher detection efficiency) and reducing instrument backgrounds. A current effort for increased sensitivity in high resolution gam...
