Schlagworte environmental samples ; alpha spectrometry ; gamma spectrometry
Zusammenfassung: The files contain the background measurements of two soil and one plant sample from the DroneLab of Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) performed with gamma and alpha spectrometry.
Inhaltsverzeichnis: - block: Gamma spectrometry
research object: Radionuclide activity calculation of two soil samples from the UPC DroneLab (Castelldefels, Spain) using gamma spectrometry
method: The calibration is done using the QCY-Standard in reference soil in the same geometry. The activity is calculated through the gamma spectrum peak analysis using Genie2K software. The nuclide identification is done by energy (line efficiency dependent on nuclide), and the measurement efficiency is calculated using the Standard.

- block: Gamma spectrometry
research object: Radionuclide activity calculation of one plant sample from the UPC DroneLab (Castelldefels, Spain) using gamma spectrometry
method: The calibration is done using the QCY-Standard on filter paper measured above and under the plant sample in a Petri dish. The activity is calculated through the gamma spectrum peak analysis using Genie2K software. The nuclide identification is done by energy (line efficiency dependent on nuclide), and the measurement efficiency is calculated using the Standard.

- block: Gamma spectrometry
research object: Data analysis
method: The peak analysis is performed with Genie2K software. The peak identification rule - net area uncertainty < 10% net peak area. The calculation of activity is based on counts and two efficiencies. The nuclide is identified by energy, and the efficiency of a gamma line is taken from Nucleonia table. The second (energy) efficiency is calculated from the standard (Jäckel-Westmeier-Fit for soil, Top-Bottom-Method for plant).

- block: Alpha spectrometry
research object: Radionuclide activity calculation of one plant sample and two soil samples from the UPC DroneLab (Castelldefels, Spain) using the Grid Ionization Chamber (GIC).
method: GIC measures the energy distribution (spectrum) of alpha particles. The measurement time (in seconds) is reported in line 7 of each file. The energy calibration of the spectrum is given by Cal-zero and Cal-Slope in lines 9 and 10. Background evaluation is done before and after the measurements of the three samples.
