Previously we used relative and absolute efficiency measurements combined with Monte Carlo calculations to define the efficiency of an HPGe gamma-ray detector with 0.2% accuracy from 50 to 1400 keV. This work has been extended to 4.8 MeV with measurements of relative efficiencies from 24Na, 56Co, and 66Ga sources. The combined results of experiment and calculation yield an efficiency curve up to 3.5 MeV with 0.4% accuracy. Single- and double-escape peak contributions also agree with calculation if positron annihilation-in-flight is incorporated.

The Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics Terahertz Free Electron Laser Facility (CAEP THz FEL, CTFEL) has been operated as a user facility for over five years. To further meet the growing demands of modern science, an upgrade project for an infrared-terahertz free electron laser facility based on CTFEL has been proposed to broaden the frequency range from 0.1-4.

Limited availability constrains the implementation of Ac, the most promising α emitter for targeted therapy, in clinical practice. Proton activation of Ra is one of few realistic solutions to this problem. We have therefore measured cross sections of relevant Ra(p,xn) nuclear reactions in the energy range of 12.

Glass system of 45BO-20ZnO-30BaO-5X, (where X represents CaO, MgO, AlO, TiO, CuO and FeO) in mole percentage was investigated for gamma ray radiation shielding experimentally. Six glass composites were fabricated and the density was measured experimentally and the BZBCa glass sample has the least density with a value of 3.932 g cm and this is due to the presence of CaO in it, and the sample BZBFe has the highest density with a value of 4.

F radioactive isotope is widely used in PET imaging for nuclear medicine. Medical linear accelerators producing high-flux bremsstrahlung beams up to 20 MeV are commonly used in radiation therapy. Hence, the production of F through photon-induced channels will reduce many of the intricacies in transportation and handling.
