Standardization of 110mAg by liquid scintillation and 4pibeta-gamma coincidence counting

The nuclide 110Ag is a beta-gamma emitter with a very complex decay scheme, including more than 50 gamma-rays. It has been standardized by two methods: liquid scintillation counting (LSC) and 4pibeta(pc)-gamma coincidence measurements. In the LSC measurements the CIEMAT/NIST method was used, with 3H being used as a tracer for efficiency calculations. In the 4pibeta(pc)-gamma standardization, Monte Carlo calculations have been made to determine the optimal measurement conditions. Results obtained with both methods for the activity concentration of the solution are in good agreement.

Standardization of 134Cs by three methods.

The nuclide 34Cs decays by beta-emission followed by gamma-deexcitation to 134Ba with a half-life T(1/2) = 2.065 a. It has been standardized by three methods: liquid scintillation counting (LSC), 4pi beta-gamma coincidence counting and 4pi gamma counting. In the LSC measurements, the CIEMAT/NIST method was used to calculate the efficiency. For the coincidence measurements, a conventional 4pi beta (proportional counter)-gamma(NaI) system was used. For the 4pi gamma standardization, a well-type Nal(Tl) detector was modeled with the Monte Carlo package PENELOPE, and the counting efficiency obtained by calculation. Results of the three methods agree within 0.65%.
