Book Applied Gamma Ray Spectrometry

Download or read book Applied Gamma Ray Spectrometry written by C. E. Crouthamel and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Gamma-Ray Spectrometry covers real life application of the gamma-ray and the devices used in their experimental studies. This book is organized into 9 chapters, and starts with discussions of the various decay processes, the possible interaction mechanisms of gamma radiation with matter, and the intrinsic and extrinsic variables, which affect the observed gamma-ray and X-ray spectra. The subsequent chapters deal with the properties and fabrication of scintillation detectors, semiconductor detectors, and proportional gas counters. These chapters present some of the most widely utilized applications of these detectors, with a particular emphasis to the activation analysis. These topics are followed by reviews of the description of basic equipment, such as amplifiers, analyzers, special spectrometer arrangements, and detector shielding. Other chapters describe energy and time resolution and quantitative calibration. The quantitative and qualitative interpretation of the spectra is also explained, along with the calibration of the detectors. The last chapter considers the analytical applications of gamma-ray and X-ray spectrometry in tracer studies, activation analysis, fission product studies, and X-ray fluorescence analysis. This book will be of value to analytical chemists and analytical chemistry researchers.

Book Multiple Linear Regression Analysis of Scintillation Gamma ray Spectra Theoretical and Practical Considerations

Download or read book Multiple Linear Regression Analysis of Scintillation Gamma ray Spectra Theoretical and Practical Considerations written by David F. Covell and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Application of the method of multiple linear regression as a data-analysis technique for gamma-ray scintillation spectrometer data requires knowledge of (1) the response matrix of the spectrometer and (2) the covariance matrix of the unknown spectrum (or spectra). Neither matrix is known exactly. The response matrix can usually be determined with good precision and an estimate of the covariance matrix can usually be made. Perturbations or errors in either matrix, however, will introduce biases in the results. In addition, in the formulation of the method, assumptions are made and criteria are specified which may be appropriate for particular applications. Once generated, the particular formulation is frequently assumed to be generally applicable; additional biases can thereby be introduced. In the report, theoretical and practical considerations are delineated which are important to the satisfactory utilization of the multiple linear regression method. Subjective judgments which are introduced in the formulation of the method are indicated, and in view of these judgments, specific areas are described where care must be exercised, both in the acquisition of the data and in the subsequent processing.

Book A Method for the Analysis of Complex Peaks Occurring in Gamma Ray Pulse Height Distributions

Download or read book A Method for the Analysis of Complex Peaks Occurring in Gamma Ray Pulse Height Distributions written by C. L. Carnahan and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method is described which can be used to compute the areas of overlapping peaks occurring in gamma-ray pulse height distributions in which the data are obtained in the form of histograms. The method is applicable to study of nuclear decay schemes and to the analysis of mixtures of radionuclides. The method can also be used to determine the energy of a gamma ray giving rise to a peak which is obscured by one or two other peaks from gamma rays of known energies. The method is based on the assumption that the events contributing to peak area are distributed about a central location according to the normal probability distribution. Prior calibration of the pulse height analyzer with sources of known energy is necessary for the application of the method.

Book The Measurement of Energy and Intensity of Gamma Rays by Use of a Scintillation Spectrometer

Download or read book The Measurement of Energy and Intensity of Gamma Rays by Use of a Scintillation Spectrometer written by S. Raboy and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of gamma-ray spectra measured with a scintillation counter with an anticoincidence annulus is described in detail. In particular the problem of the determination of the energy and intensity of gamma rays from such measurements is considered. The shapes of the full-energy peaks in observed complex spectra are studied and an attempt is made to justify their description in terms of a Gaussian response function. The details of the statistical analysis of complex gamma-ray spectra are given and, finally, procedures which have been used to confirm the validity of error estimates in energy and intensity measurements are described.

Book Some Applications of Scintillation Spectrometry to Nondestructive Testing

Download or read book Some Applications of Scintillation Spectrometry to Nondestructive Testing written by R. B. Perry and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gamma-ray scintillation spectrometry is a useful tool for the nondestructive assay of the uranium-235 content of research reactor fuel. The uranium-235 is the only isotope of uranium that produces a strong peak of gamma energy at 185 keV. Accordingly, the uranium-235 content of reactor fuel can be accurately determined by counting the 184 keV gamma emission.
