【国外标准】 American National Standard Calibration and Usage of Sodium Iodide Detector Systems

This standard establishes methods for performance testing, calibration, and usage of sodium iodide detector systems for the measurement of gamma-ray emission rates of radionuclides; the assay for radioactivity; and the determination of gamma-ray energies. It covers both energy calibration and efficiency calibration. The following three techniques are considered: (1) Total spectrum counting (see 5.1) employs a system that counts all events above a low-energy threshold (see 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3). (2)… read more Single-channel analyzer counting (see 5.2) employs a system with a counting window which establishes upper and lower energy boundaries (see 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3). (3) Multichannel analyzer counting (see 5.3) employs a system in which multiple counting windows are utilized. This technique applies to measurements that do not involve overlapping peaks and those for which the continuum under the full-energy peak can be subtracted without introducing unacceptable error [4]. read less
