AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focused on measuring the photon emission intensities of (210)Pb using a standard solution and liquid scintillation counting for activity measurement.
  • Conventional γ-ray spectrometry was used to determine the absolute emission intensity of γ-rays and X-rays.
  • The researchers achieved high precision in measuring individual X-ray lines by using a cryogenic detector, accounting for satellite lines in the spectrum.

Article Abstract

Photon emission intensities of (210)Pb have been determined using sources prepared from a standard solution, whose activity was measured by liquid scintillation counting. The absolute γ-ray and X-ray emission intensity was measured by conventional γ-ray spectrometry. Complementary measurements of the L X-ray spectrum were performed using a cryogenic detector, characterized by very high energy resolution and constant detection efficiency. As a result, precise emission intensities of the individual X-ray lines were obtained taking into account the presence of satellite lines.
