1 Physics Department Royal Holloway University of London PH Nuclear Physics Laboratory Gamma spectroscopy (NP3) 1 Objectives The aim of this experiment is to demonstrate how γ-ray energy spectra may be obtained using a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector. The spectrometer will be used to investigate the energy spectra of several gamma sources and to relate these to γ-ray interaction mechanisms. In order to prepare adequately for this experiment you will have to consult the material indicated in the References section at the end of this script. 2 Apparatus Gamma rays are photons with energy in the MeV range. Nuclei have discrete energy levels with a typical spacing of the order of MeV. Therefore nuclear transitions can result in the emission of gamma rays of specific energies. Figure 1 shows the block diagram of a simple γ spectrometer. The demonstrator will identify the components and explain the function of each of the electronic modules γ source NaI(Tl) detector P M Preamp Amplifier MCA +VDU HV power supply Oscilloscope Figure 1: Schematic diagram of the γ spectrometer used in this experiment. PM=Photomultiplier; MCA= Multi-Channel Analyzer; VDU= Visual Display Unit. Explain succintly (i.e., totalling less than 1 2 a page!): the physical principles of operation of the NaI(Tl) detector; the function of the Photomultiplier; the function of the Multi-Channel analyzer. 1
2 3 Procedure 3.1 Energy calibration The spectrometer s energy scale needs to be calibrated. You have access to several radioactive sources that emit gamma-rays of different energies: Na-22, Co-60, Cs-137, Bi-207. The energies of the gamma-rays emitted by these sources are given in a separate table ( Commonly Used Radioactive Sources ) available in the Lab, as well as in Reference 3. Calibrate the spectrometer using two suitable peaks of known energy. Explain concisely what is the calibration supposed to achieve; Include the printout of the calibration spectrum, clearly indicating the two peaks used for the calibration, and justifying your choice of calibration energies; Calculate the relative precision of your energy calibration by comparing the measured and the expected energy of some of the photopeaks which you did not use for calibration. 3.2 Gamma ray spectra and their features Record the spectra of three out of the following four radioactive sources: Na-22, Co-60, Cs-137 and Bi-207. Include the spectra and clearly label their features (photopeaks, Compton continua, Compton edges and sum peaks); Explain the physical origin of each of these features succintly; Calculate the predicted energy of the Compton edges and any sum peaks and compare these to the spectra you obtained. 3.3 Energy resolution Determine the full width at half maximum (FWHM= E) and energy (Ē) of the photopeaks. Indicate both values clearly for each photopeak, on the printout of each spectrum. Determine the energy resolution, E/Ē, of the spectrometer, as a function of energy and plot the results. Does the energy resolution vary with the γ ray energy? How do your results compare with the expected variation of the energy resolution? 2
3 3.4 Total linear attenuation coefficients When a gamma-ray beam is made incident on a slab of some absorber material, some of the gamma-rays will interact (via photoelectric absorption, Compton scattering or production of an electron-positron pair) in the material. Such interactions effectively either absorb the gamma-ray or scatter it away from the incident beam direction. Figure 2 is a sketch of the typical experimental setup to measure the reduction in beam intensity due to an absorber of thickness t. The so-called linear attenuation coefficient µ is the probability, I 0 t source collimators absorber I detector Figure 2: Experimental setup to determine the linear attenuation coefficient of an absorber material. I 0 and I are the intensities of the beam incident on and surviving the absorber, respectively. t is the thickness of the absorber. per unit length of the absorber, that a gamma-ray photon will be removed from the beam, for photons of a given energy. The intensity I of the beam after crossing a thickness t of absorber is expected to vary according to I(t) = I 0 e µt. In this experiment you will measure the linear attenuation coefficient µ for gamma radiation in lead and aluminium at gamma-ray energies of 0.66MeV and 1.33MeV. Include the graphs showing the intensity of the detected radiation vs. t, the thickness of absorber used; Explain clearly how you determined the linear attenuation coefficients (µ); Include a table with the µ values that you obtained (a) from your measurements and (b) from the literature (K.S. Krane; Fig. 7.10, p. 203 or the data shown below). Compare your results with those in the literature and comment. (Note that the attenuation coefficients given in the literature are mass attenuation coefficients, which have units of cm 2 /g. You will need to convert these to linear attenuation coefficients by using the corresponding absorber density. The densities of lead and aluminium are ρ Pb = 11340kg/m 3 and ρ Al = 2700kg/m 3, respectively.) 3

5 Radiation safety In this experiment you will need to use radioactive sources. These are to be dealt with with care. You must follow these rules: Keep the source in its container when not in use; Do not point the open end at yourself or anyone else; Do not tamper with the source; Handle using tongs or wearing disposable gloves; No eating or drinking in the lab; Wash your hands thouroughly before touching food; Do not handle the source if you are pregnant; When you have finished using the source, advise the demonstrator so that it can be returned to the store.
