Standardization of gamma-ray spectrometry using the NaI (TI) scintillation detector
摘要
The NaI (Tl) scintillation detector is versatile and widely used in the field of radiation detection and measurement studies. In the present paper, a 4 × 4 NaI (Tl) scintillation detector’s efficiency and resolution are based on parameters viz., calibration, and geometries studied. The standard radioactive sources used for energy calibration studies found resolutions of 8.1%, 6.0%, 5.5%, and 4.1% for gamma-ray energies of 660.37 keV, 1175 keV, 1333.99 keV, and 2502.77 keV, respectively. The NaI (Tl) detector shows an efficiency of 3.51%, 2.09%, 0.67%, and 0.38%, respectively, for the above energies, which is in linearity with detector parameters.
