K-shell fluorescence yields of low, medium Z and rare earth elements were determined using Si(PIN) detector and HPGe detector employing reflection geometry set up. Target atoms were excited using 59.5 keV gamma rays emerging from Am-241 source of strength 300 mCi. Background radiation and multiple scattering effects were minimized by properly shielding the detector. The elemental foils of unifo...

The movement or storage of containers of radioactive waste requires characterization of the contents for radioactivity to verify conformance with transportation and waste acceptance controls. Spectroscopy of the emitted gamma rays is often the only viable method of assay of the contents. The spectrum analysis must include suitable efficiency, attenuation and geometry corrections for bulk contai...

The radioactive isotope beam (RIB) of 25Na at 5MeV/u energy in maximum 3x107 pps intensity was fired on a deuterated polyethylene (CD2) to investigate mainly (d,p gamma) reaction. However, there were other reaction possibilities, which arisen from the same collision, be eliminated wisely. As particle detector and gamma-ray detector, highly selective double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSSD) ...

The results of the development modern precision monitors alpha, beta and gamma ray radiation for setting up early warning systems radioactive contamination in atmosphere rapid assessment emerging threats, are presented. Proportional counters, scintillation SrI (Eu) crystals semiconductor Si, CdZnTe, HPGe detectors used 2 development. designed provide information both on dose rate values real ti...

In this paper we describe the development, testing, and characterization of three low-emission rate AmLi neutron sources. The sources are used to calibrate nuclear recoil response LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment. sources' emission was measured using $^{3}$He proportional tubes. gamma emissions were characterized a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. Source-validated GEANT4 Monte Carlo...

Coherent and incoherent scattering cross section measurements have been carried out using a HPGe detector on elements in the range of Z = 13 50 using Am gamma rays. The cross sections have been derived by comparing the net count rate obtained from the Compton peak of aluminium with the corresponding peak of the target. The measured cross sections for the coherent and incoherent processes are co...

The activity concentrations of 40K, 232Th, and 238U in the characteristic rocks of the Modane-Aussois region (Western Alps, France) were determined using an HPGe gamma-ray spectrometry system. The activity concentrations of 40K varied from 18 Bqkg-1 (limestone dolomite) to 392 Bqkg-1 (calcschist), while those of 232Th varied from 0.7 Bqkg-1 (limestone dolomite) to 18 Bqkg-1 (calcschist). The ac...
