Abstract

Experimental and calculated photopeak efficiencies have been obtained for a 32 cm³ true coaxial Ge(Li) detector at four distances: 2 cm, 5 cm, 10 cm and 20 cm. A comparison of these results is presented.

Calibration of γ-spectrometers
1973, Nuclear Instruments and Methods
The various aspects of γ-spectrometer calibration are examined. Two methods are described, one using the whole γ-spectrum and the other suitably chosen peaks. The problem of the choice of references is broached: multiple or single? Instrumental errors are studied, together with various corrections related to disintegration schemes. Finally the accuracy obtainable is discussed and it is shown that, for many radionuclides, γ-spectrometry is a precise and often the only possible method of measurement.
Determination of peak area
1973, Nuclear Instruments and Methods
A review of methods for peak-area determination for scintillation and semiconductor spectrometers is given. Methods employing measured values directly or taking advantage of fitted approximative function are presented. The course and approximation of the background under the peak are discussed with regard to accuracy. Some practical aspects which may significantly increase the error are reported. On the basis of the data it is possible to propose for real situations the most advantageous method for determination of peak area with a sufficient accuracy.
Relative intensity and internal conversion coefficient measurements in the decays of 51Cr, 137Cs, 192Ir, and 207Bi
1973, Annals of Physics
An “internal conversion coefficient spectrometer” utilizing Ge(Li) and Si(Li) detectors has been used to make precision measurements of relative gamma-ray intensities for transitions following the decay of ¹⁹²Ir and ²⁰⁷Bi, relative internal conversion line intensities for some transitions from ¹⁹²Ir, and conversion coefficients for some transitions from the decays of ⁵¹Cr, ¹³⁷Cs, and ¹⁹²Ir. Limits and values are given for $E2 M1$ mixing ratios and penetration effects for the 320.1-keV transition in ⁵¹V, the 484.5-keV transition in ¹⁹²Os, and the 604.4-keV transition in ¹⁹²Pt. The consequences of the results for nuclear structure are discussed.
Gamma-gamma directional correlations in 140Ce
1971, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Directional correlation measurements have been performed on six γ-ray pairs occurring in the de-excitation of ¹⁴⁰Ce. Of these, two are 1–3 correlations with an unobserved intermediate γ-ray. Both NaI(T1)-Ge(Li) and Ge(Li)-Ge(Li) detector systems were used. The following mixing ratios were deduced for the 329, 433, 487, 752, 816 and 868 keV transitions: δ(329; D, Q) = 0.018±0.007, δ(433; D, Q) = 0.36 ±0.02 or −0.14±0.03, δ(487; Q, O) = −0.002±0.007, δ(752; D, Q) = −0.33 ±0.03, δ(816; D, Q) = 0.031±0.005, −0.09 < δ(868; D, Q) < 0.10.
