Alpha Emitter Intrinsic Concentration in Copper required for Nuclear Spectrometry Application
Journal Title: Journal of Nuclear Physics, Material Sciences, Radiation and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Low-level radioactivity content in copper are employed for bolometric thermal radiation sensors and astro-nuclear spectrometers. The required lowest achievable alpha emitters concentration, for treated and untreated surfaces, are measured by Double Sided Silicon Strip Detectors in a high vacuum chamber and provide information on its intrinsic NORM content. Results shows that copper alpha emitters content can be achieved in the range below 0.01 (counts. keV-1·kg-1·y-1) adequate for specific nuclear spectrometry applications.

Effect of the Critical Angular Momentum on Incomplete Fusion Dynamics
An attempt has been made to calculate the critical angular momentum (ℓcrit ) from the experimentally measured total ER cross-sections and are compared with Bass model predictions (using PACE-2). A comparison between expe...
Signal of h → µτ, ττ in ν2HDM⊕S3
Nowadays in particle physics, the exploration of the flavour physics through the Higgs boson phenomenology is one of the main goals in the field. In particular, we are interested in the Lepton Flavour Violation (LFV) pro...
Dependence on the Identification of the Scale Energy Parameter Q2 in the Quark Distribution Functions for a DIS Production of Za
We discuss the Z-production in a DIS (Deep Inelastic Scattering) process e + p → e + Z + X using the Parton Model, within the context of the Standard Model. In contrast with deep inelastic eP-scattering (e + p → e + X),...
Radio-Optically- and Thermally Stimulated Luminescence of Zn(BO2)2:Tb3+ exposed to Ionizing Radiation
The optical absorption of zinc tetraborate at different concentrations of the terbium impurity (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 mol%) was analyzed. The radioluminescence (RL) emission spectra was obtained after beta irradiation of a...
