Abstract

Collimator for $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ source was manufactured for compton scattering experiment. Exposure dose rate was calculated and measured using GM counter for radiation evaluation. These results were well agreed to each other and used for collimator design. SUS303 was used for collimator material because exposure dose rate at 10 cm is about 2 mR/h. The radiation emited from the 35 mm, 65 mm hole was measured using gamma camera which have 4' diameter. 2-D radiation image was acquired and analyzed. The radiation size at Gamma Camera was 8.0 mm and 5.8 mm respectively.

컴프턴 산란 실험을 수행하기 위해 $M{\ddot{o}}ssbauer$ 선원용 콜리메이터를 제작하였다. 콜리메이터 제작에 앞서 방사선량 평가를 위해 조사선량을 계산하였고, 동일 위치에서 GM 계측기를 이용해 측정을 수행하였다. 계산 및 실험결과는 잘 일치하였다. 10 cm에서의 조사선량률이 2 mR/h 정도이므로 SUS303을 사용하여 콜리메이터를 제작하였다. 콜리메이터의 35 mm, 65 mm Hole에서 방출되는 방사선을 4' 감마카메라를 사용해 측정하여 감마카메라 위치에서 2차원 방사선 영상을 얻을 수 있었다. 감마카메라 위치에서 콜리메이터의 집속 크기는 각각 8.0 mm, 5.8 mm로 측정되었다.
