Development of a TDCR counting system with anti-coincidence detectors
When employing the TDCR method for standardization of low-activity liquid scintillation samples, fluctuations in system background can significantly impact both measurement uncertainties and minimum detectable activity (MDA). To mitigate this impact, a TDCR counting system with anti-coincidence detectors was developed. By analyzing the time difference distribution spectrum between the anti-coincidence channel and β channel, optimal parameters for the anti-coincidence module are determined. The objective of the study is to enhance the effectiveness of the anti-coincidence technique while minimizing the removal of real events. Finally, two sets of 3H and 14C samples with known activities of around 1 Bq are prepared via dilution to validate the performance of the system. Compared to without anti-coincidence, the background has been reduced by nearly 84%, leading to decreased fluctuations in the activity results.
期刊介绍：
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
