Özet
The bremsstrahlung radiation energy spectra were produced by hard beta-emitters the 90Sr-90Y contaminated tea sample sources placed in a copper cylinder (cylinder counting geometry) and encapsulated in two Cu discs (sandwich counting geometry). These energy spectra were directly measured by using two separate gamma-ray spectrometers with a coaxial 110% efficient HpGe detector and a 110 cm3 HpGe well-type detector. The minimum detectable activity and the absolute efficiency of beta-activity for the sandwich and cylinder geometries were found to be 23 Bq·kg-1 and (1.67±0.04)% and 55 Bq·kg-1 and (2.61±0.05)%, respectively. These results indicate that the bremsstrahlung radiation counting method can be applied to some environmental studies when high efficient HpGe detectors, especially well-type HpGe are used. © 2006 Akadémiai Kiadó.
