T3.2 Radionuclide Technologies and Applications

Oral

Recent efforts have explored the use of high resolution beta detectors for improved metastable isomer discrimination. These detectors have been focused on implementation within the IMS stations for detection of all four radioxenon isotopes. The duration between collection and measurement is increased for radioxenon laboratories. Based on the shipping duration and sample type (spike versus...

T3.2 Radionuclide Technologies and Applications

Oral

Beta-gamma coincidence method are used to detect and measure radioxenon isotopes in the field, greatly reducing the background and increasing sensitivity. Research has been performed to explore further background reduction using spatial information provided by pixelated, voxelated, or segmented detectors. This includes segmented and pixelated silicon detectors for the beta or electron...

218. Development of a New Technique of 4πβ-γ Detection System to Perform Primary Methods for the measurement of activity of radionuclide (O3.2-218)

T3.2 Radionuclide Technologies and Applications

Oral

This study describes a new technique of 4πβ-γ detection system to perform primary methods for the measurement of activity of radionuclide. Characterization of the detectors, plastic scintillators for β-detector and a NaI(Tl) detector for γ-detector, has been investigated by using Monte Carlo GEANT4 simulation and experimental measurement. In addition, an optimum configuration of plastic...
