Gamma ray Energy Spectrum of Cd-109 and Sn-113

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around obtaining the gamma ray energy spectrum of Cd-109 and Sn-113 using a NaI detector. Participants share resources, links, and personal approaches to generate or find the required spectra.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests the gamma ray energy spectrum for Cd-109 and Sn-113 for an experiment.
  • Another participant expresses skepticism about the availability of gamma spectra in digital form and asks for clarification on the specific needs.
  • Links to decay scheme tables for both isotopes are provided, but the original requester indicates a need for actual spectra rather than tables.
  • A participant shares a link to a document with background information on the isotopes and provides a poor image of gamma spectra, suggesting it may be from an Indium target.
  • One participant mentions a gamma spectrum generator available on the Nucleonica portal, noting its ease of use for generating spectra for the isotopes in question.
  • Another participant echoes the usefulness of the Nucleonica portal for generating spectra, indicating it may be beneficial in the future.
  • A participant mentions having gamma spectra for 57Co measured with a gamma counter, although it is unclear how this relates to the original request.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the availability of the requested gamma spectra, and multiple approaches to obtaining or generating the spectra are discussed without resolution on the best method.

Contextual Notes

Participants express varying levels of access to resources and tools for generating the spectra, and there are indications of uncertainty regarding the quality and relevance of shared materials.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for individuals interested in gamma spectroscopy, particularly those working with Cd-109 and Sn-113 isotopes, as well as those seeking resources for experimental setups involving NaI detectors.

Hi,

For my experiment, i need the gamma ray energy spectrum of Cd-109 and Sn-113 with NaI detector. would anyone help me please?

thanks everyone.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
thanks very much Astronuc. I found these links too but I need spectrums. i decided to draw the spectrum myself according to this decay schemes. It will not be professional but that's all I have.
thanks again.
 
On the nuclear science portal Nucleonica www.nucleonica.net (you need to register for access), there is a very powerful gamma spectrum generator. You can use this to generate the spectrum of Cd-109 and Sn-113 for a NaI detector. Its very easy and fast to use.

thank you so much. A very usefull website. a little late but it will be usefull for ne day.
 
i have 57Co gamma spectra measured using a gamma counter.
