Standardization of radionuclide by beta(LS)-gamma coincidence counting using the geometry-efficiency variation method.

Published: November 2006
A liquid scintillation counting method consisting of three photomultiplier tubes for beta counters and a NaI(Tl) gamma counter has been developed for the standardization of radionuclides with the beta-gamma coincidence technique. The beta detection efficiency functions are obtained by means of a geometry-variation method developed in the present work; an array of beta detectors is moved uniformly at the same time from a centrally located counting vial to 50 mm. The method has been applied in the standardization of 60Co and 134Cs. Unquenched liquid scintillation samples with nominal count rates from 1000 to 6000 s-1 were prepared. The observed beta detection efficiencies with this method are from 90 to 45% in the case of 60Co, and from 84 to 50% for 134Cs. The output of each beta channel is summed together and compared with gamma data by the coincidence analyzer. The dead time of each counting channel is adjusted to be 20 micros, sufficiently long to suppress the afterpulses in the beta counting channel. The activity of each sample is determined by using the Cox and Isham formula. The obtained results are in good agreement with KRISS certified values.

First Measurement of Missing Energy due to Nuclear Effects in Monoenergetic Neutrino Charged-Current Interactions.
Phys Rev Lett

Department of Physics, Chonnam National University, 77, Yongbong-ro, Buk-gu, Gwangju 61186, Korea.
We present the first measurement of the missing energy due to nuclear effects in monoenergetic, muon neutrino charged-current interactions on carbon, originating from K^{+}→μ^{+}ν_{μ} decay at rest (E_{ν_{μ}}=235.5 MeV), performed with the J-PARC Sterile Neutrino Search at the J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source liquid scintillator based experiment. Toward characterizing the neutrino interaction, ostensibly ν_{μ}n→μ^{-}p or ν_{μ}^{12}C→μ^{-}^{12}N, we define the missing energy as the energy transferred to the nucleus (ω) minus the kinetic energy of the outgoing proton(s), E_{m}≡ω-∑T_{p}, and relate this to visible energy in the detector, E_{m}=E_{ν_{μ}}(235.

Water usually contains small quantities of radioactivity. The presence of significant levels of radioactivity in drinking water sources poses potential health risks to the public. Consequently, determining the concentrations of gross alpha and gross beta activity in water is essential for ensuring water safety.

A novel method for measuring radon in water is proposed. This method involves sampling radon from water into sunflower oil and subsequently measuring the radon in the oil using either Cherenkov counting or Liquid Scintillation (LS) counting. The high partition coefficient of radon between oil and water enables radon preconcentration in the oil, significantly improving the Minimum Detectable Activity Concentration (MDAC) compared to direct Cherenkov or LS measurements in water.

In this study, a new background discrimination method using SVM with gaussian kernel in low-level H liquid scintillation measurement is developed. Dimensionality reduction techniques were employed to process the full waveform data of each event following time discrimination. The reduced-dimensional data were then used to construct the classification model.

A concept for studying the effects of secondary radiation in boron neutron capture therapy based on the application of multilayer composite scintillators was proposed in this work. Such composite scintillators can be used for simultaneous measurement of the dose of various types of ionizing radiation, including Li ions, α-particles and γ-rays. For this purpose, three types of composite detectors based on the single crystalline films and single crystals of YAlO and LuAlO garnets, doped with Ce, Pr and Sc ions, were produced using the liquid phase epitaxy growth method.
