Development of a gamma-gamma angular correlation digital instrumentation at LNE-LNHB
The LNE-LNHB has recently developed a coincidence instrumentation to take advantage of the latest developments in fast digital acquisition. The performances of the new setup have been tested using two LaBr3 scintillation detectors to investigate gamma-gamma angular correlation in 60Co decay. For that purpose, a specific goniometer based on a simple design was developed. The data collection using a list-mode data acquisition with a CAEN DT5730 digitizer was carried out over a period of three months using an 800-kBq 60Co source. The counting analysis was performed taking advantage of the fast decay properties, and good energy resolution, of the two LaBr3 detectors allowing a very strict selection of the coincident gamma events. From this study, the parameters of 60Ni angular correlation were determined to be equal to a2 = 0.1030(31) and a4 = 0.0097(36), respectively. These results are consistent with previously published values. The accuracy obtained is compared to various recent studies and to a reference cryogenic measurement. Prospects for improvement of the experimental setup are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
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.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
