Optimization of the gamma-ray spectrometry counting time based on uncertainties of radionuclides concentration in samples

Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2020
This paper aims to propose an easy and fast method of optimization of the gamma-ray spectrometry counting time in determining natural radionuclides (Pb-210, Pb-212, Pb-214, Bi-212, Bi-214 and Ac-228) in order to minimize uncertainties in the ...

Measurement of the insensitive surface layer thickness of a PIN photodiode based on alpha-particle spectrometry

Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2022
In this work, the insensitive layer thickness of a PIN photodiode (SFH206K - Osram) has been measured by varying the incident angle of a collimated monoenergetic alpha particle beam.
