Abstract

An experimental study of the response of the newer Quantulus GTC 6220 liquid scintillation spectrometer has been conducted with the objective of determining the performance of this counter for the determination of ⁵⁵Fe and ⁶³Ni in the environment. Its response has been compared to that of the well-established Quantulus 1220. For this, Guard Compensation Technology (GCT) was used to reduce the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD in what follows). Two scintillation cocktails, Hidex ProSafe HC+ and Revvity OptiPhase HiSafe 3 were compared in this work. The parameters employed for this assessment were background count rate, counting efficiency, and LLD.

期刊介绍： Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving ionizing radiation in radiation physics, radiation chemistry and radiation processing. The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation effects.
