Detector Material

Well-type NaI(Tl) detectors are beneficial for low-level photon activity measurements because of the near 4π solid angle that can be gained with them. The detection efficiency can differ with the source-to-detector system geometries, the absorption of the photon in the detector material, and attenuation layers in front of the detector face. For these purposes, the absolute efficiency and the coincidence corrections of the well-type sodium iodide detector have been measured at 0.121–1.408 MeV energy range (obtained from 152Eu, 137Cs, and 60Co radioactive isotopes). The covenant between the experimental (present work) and the published theoretical values is good, with the high discrepancies being less than 1%.

Source Concentration

Experimental studies using a large-volume sodium iodide detector system show how the potassium, uranium, and thorium gamma-ray spectra vary with altitude above the ground. The shapes of the spectra were derived from measurements on large radioactive concrete calibration slabs using plywood sheets to simulate the absorption of the gamma radiation in the air. A mathematical analysis of the data showed that within the range covered by the experiment (0–112 m of air) the spectra of each of the three radioelements are made up essentially of two spectral components, whose proportions vary with the amount of absorbing material between the source and the detector. With this knowledge, it is shown how all the basic information relating to source–detector distance and source concentration may be extracted from the airborne gamma-ray spectrum.

A New Technique

DuMond spectroscopy is a new technique for the determination of bone mineral density. The instrument consists of an Americium-241 source mounted in an absorber post located on the surface of a sodium iodide detector. The analysis is based on the energy distribution of photons scattered by the tissue. Measurements made using a series of powdered bovine cortical bone and wax mixtures gave an R value of 0.991. Repeated measurements made on a series of calcaneus specimens gave a precision of 0.96%.
