Measuring the activity of thorium by its decay products using a multidetector γ-ray coincidence spectrometer

A method for detecting thorium by its decay products has been tested on PRIPYAT six-crystal 4π γ-ray coincidence spectrometers. This method makes it possible to measure large-volume samples of any shape with a higher sensitivity and a shorter acquisition time than when an HPGe spectrometer with a co...

Description
Summary:A method for detecting thorium by its decay products has been tested on PRIPYAT six-crystal 4π γ-ray coincidence spectrometers. This method makes it possible to measure large-volume samples of any shape with a higher sensitivity and a shorter acquisition time than when an HPGe spectrometer with a comparable cost is used.
