Radioactive contamination of scintillators [PDF]

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2018
Low counting experiments (search for double [Formula: see text] decay and dark matter particles, measurements of neutrino fluxes from different sources, search for hypothetical nuclear and subnuclear processes, low background [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] spectrometry) require extremely low background of a detector ...

Measurements with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory's flight contamination monitor [PDF]

, 2000
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory includes a Flight Contamination Monitor (FCM), a system of 16 radioactive calibration sources mounted to the inside of the Observatory's forward contamination cover. The purpose of the FCM is to verify the ground-to-orbit

Improvement of radiopurity level of enriched $^{116}$CdWO$_4$ and ZnWO$_4$ crystal scintillators by recrystallization [PDF]

, 2016
As low as possible radioactive contamination of a detector plays a crucial role to improve sensitivity of a double beta decay experiment. The radioactive contamination of a sample of $^{116}$CdWO$_4$ crystal scintillator by thorium was reduced by a ...

A case report of radiopharmaceutical needlestick injury with scintigraphic imaging and dose quantification

Radiology Case Reports, 2022
Attention to the implications of common needle stick injuries has focused heavily on the risk of cross-infection from blood-borne pathogens. An additional risk to the nuclear medicine healthcare worker is that of subcutaneous radioactive contamination ...

Exploring the Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay in the Inverted Neutrino Hierarchy with Bolometric Detectors [PDF]

, 2014
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0nubb) is one of the most sensitive probes for physics beyond the Standard Model, providing unique information on the nature of neutrinos. In this paper we review the status and outlook for bolometric 0nubb decay searches.
