Book Description
A Compton-suppressed coincidence gamma-ray scintillation spectrometer has been assembled to obtain high sensitivity and selectivity in gamma-ray spectral measurements. The spectrometer is intended to satisfy requirements for the identification and estimation of low levels of gamma-ray radioactivity in a broad range of sample sizes and masses containing moderately complex mixtures of gamma-emitting radionuclides.

Book Description
Radiation detection is key to experimental nuclear physics as well as underpinning a wide range of applications in nuclear decommissioning, homeland security and medical imaging. This book presents the state-of-the-art in radiation detection of light and heavy ions, beta particles, gamma rays and neutrons. The underpinning physics of different detector technologies is presented, and their performance is compared and contrasted. Detector technology likely to be encountered in contemporary international laboratories is also emphasized. There is a strong focus on experimental design and mapping detector technology to the needs of a particular measurement problem. This book will be invaluable to PhD students in experimental nuclear physics and nuclear technology, as well as undergraduate students encountering projects based on radiation detection for the first time. Key Features Provides clear, concise descriptions of key detection techniques Describes detector types with "telescopic depth", so readers can go as deep as they wish Covers real-world applications including short case studies in industry

The Theory and Practice of Scintillation Counting
Author: J. B. BirksPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483156060
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 685
Book Description
The Theory and Practice of Scintillation Counting is a comprehensive account of the theory and practice of scintillation counting. This text covers the study of the scintillation process, which is concerned with the interactions of radiation and matter; the design of the scintillation counter; and the wide range of applications of scintillation counters in pure and applied science. The book is easy to read despite the complex nature of the subject it attempts to discuss. It is organized such that the first five chapters illustrate the fundamental concepts of scintillation counting. Chapters 6 to 10 detail the properties and applications of organic scintillators, while the next four chapters discuss inorganic scintillators. The last two chapters provide a review of some outstanding problems and a postscript. Nuclear physicists, radiation technologists, and postgraduate students of nuclear physics will find the book a good reference material.

Book Description
The Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) on the Arthur Holly Compton Gamma Ray Observatory satellite uses four actively- shielded NaI(Tl)- CsI (Na) phoswich detectors to provide gamma-ray line and continuum detection capability in the 0.05 - 10 MeV energy range. The instrument includes secondary capabilities for gamma-ray and neutron detection between 10 and 250 MeV. The detectors have 3.8 degrees x 11.4 degrees (FWHM) fields-of-view defined by tungsten collimators. Each detector has an independent, single-axis orientation system which permits offset pointing from the spacecraft Z-axis for background measurements and multi-target observations. The instrument, its calibration and performance are described.
