We fabricated gamma radiation detector using high resistive p-Cd$_{80}$Zn$_{20}$Te grown by high pressure bridgman method and forming au thin film electrode by chemically electroless deposition method. The device of Au/Cd$_{80}$Zn$_{20}$Te/Au is a typical MIM structure. The characteristic of current-voltage showed good linearity to 3kV/cm but it depend on the square of electric field over 3kV/cm. As the results of rutherford backscattering spectroscope(RBS) and auger spectroscope on the Au/Cd$_{80}$Zn$_{20}$Te, Au penetrated to the surface of Cd$_{80}$Zn$_{20}$Te detector absorbed slightly high energy radiation like a few hundred keV and showed good performance to detect low energy gamma ray.mma ray.

HPGe 검출기를 이용하여 밀도가 다양한 환경시료에 대한 정밀 분석시 정확한 분석을 위해서는 밀도보정인자가 필요하다. 밀도에 대한 보정인자를 구하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 몬테카를로 코드인 MCNPX 코드를 사용하여 크리스털의 높이, 지름 및 코어의 크기와 같은 특성이 다른 세 대의 p-type HPGe 검출기를 모사하고 밀도 $1g/m^3$의 교정용 표준시료를 이용하여 모델링을 검증하였다. 검증을 통하여 모델링을 확정한 후 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2, $1.5g/m^3$ 밀도를 가진 샘플에 대한 효율을 시뮬레이션하고 밀도보정인자를 도출하였다. 도출된 각 검출기에 대한 밀도보정인자를 비교하였을 때 전 에너지 범위에서 그 차이가 거의 없음을 확인하였으며 이는 검출기의 크리스털과 같은 주요 특성에 대해 밀도보정인자가 독립적임을 의미한다.

A coincidence gamma-ray spectroscopy method was applied to reduce the background radioactivity for measuring the activity of radioisotopes in a sample in the presence of environmental natural radioactivity. A HPGe detector was used for the coincident spectrum as a main detector and a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector for gating purposes as an associated detector. For coincidence spectroscopy the whole energy spectrum of associated detector was used instead of gate signals. The coincident events obtained from the gating spectrum was evaluated by a coincidence computer program in this study instead of timing circuit. In this work, the background of detection environment was reduced to factor 100 and peaks to be determined was reduced to factor 30 using the coincidence gamma-ray spectroscopy.

상하부 2개의 노외계측기, 노입구관 온도 및 제어봉 위치 신호를 이용하여 상세한 축방향 출력분포를 계산할 수 있는 APDMS프로그램을 개발하였다. 상하부 2개의 노외계측기 신호가 제어봉 위치에 의하여 결정된 제어봉 간섭계수와 노입구관 온도에 따른 온도 간섭계수에 대하여 보정된 후 노심 주변출력을 얻기 위하여 보정된 노외계측기 신호에 shape annealing matrix가 적용되었다. 노심의 상하부 경계에서의 출력을 얻기 위해서는 평균 노심출력과 주변출력과의 선형적 관계를 이용한 노심 상하부의 평균출력에 경계점 출력보정계수가 적용되었다. 축방향 출력분포가 2개의 노외계측기에 의해 계산된 상하부 평균 노심출력, 상하부 경계면에서의 출력 및 미리 계산된 노심의 중심 위치에서의 출력을 이용하여 spline approximation에 의하여 계산되었다. 연소도, 출력준위, 제어봉 위치 및 axial offset의 변화에도 불구하고 고리 3호기 4주기에 대하여 BOXER 코드와 APDMS 프로그램에 의해 계산된 축방향 출력분포의 비교는 5% root mean square 오차내에서 일치함을 보여 주었다.

Background: A variety of inorganic scintillators have been developed and improved for use in radiation detection and measurement, and in situ gamma-ray spectrometry in the environment remains an important area in nuclear safety. In order to verify the feasibility of promising scintillators in an actual environment, a performance test is necessary to identify gamma-ray peaks and calculate the radioactivity from their net count rates in peaks. Materials and Methods: Among commercially available scintillators, $LaBr_3(Ce)$ scintillators have so far shown the highest energy resolution when detecting and identifying gamma-rays. However, the intrinsic background of this scintillator type affects efficient application to the environment with a relatively low count rate. An algorithm to subtract the intrinsic background was consequently developed, and the in situ calibration factor at 1 m above ground level was calculated from Monte Carlo simulation in order to determine the radioactivity from the measured net count rate. Results and Discussion: The radioactivity of six natural radionuclides in the environment was evaluated from in situ gamma-ray spectrometry using an $LaBr_3(Ce)$ detector. The results were then compared with those of a portable high purity Ge (HPGe) detector with in situ object counting system (ISOCS) software at the same sites. In addition, the radioactive cesium in the ground of Jeju Island, South Korea, was determined with the same assumption of the source distribution between measurements using two detectors. Conclusion: Good agreement between both detectors was achieved in the in situ gamma-ray spectrometry of natural as well as artificial radionuclides in the ground. This means that an $LaBr_3(Ce)$ detector can produce reliable and stable results of radioactivity in the ground from the measured energy spectrum of incident gamma-rays at 1 m above the ground.

플라즈마 이온온도를 측정하기 위해 정전평판형 이온에너지 분석기를 설계 제작하고 에너지 교정 및 에너지 분해능 등의 특성을 조사하였다. 일정한 검출기 위치에서 이온의 에너지에 따른 편향평판전압은 선형성을 보였으며, $53{\sim}103mm$ 사이의 검출기 위치에서 이온에너지에 대한 최대편향평판전압의 기울기는 $1.61{\sim}0.92$로 검출기위치의 증가에 따라 선형적으로 감소하였다. 본 실험 영역에서 에너지 분해능은 약 $4.16{\sim}11.60%$였으며, 검출기 위치 및 이온에너지의 증가에 따라 향상되었다. 상대적 검출효율은 검출기 위치의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 제작된 분석기를 다목적 플라즈마 발생장치에 설치하여 DC 플라즈마의 이온에너지 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 방전전압이 320V, 전류가 0.17A인 DC 플라즈마의 이온온도는 $203{\sim}205eV$로 나타났으며 검출기의 위치에 따른 이온온도의 변화는 없었다. 검출기의 위치에 따른 에너지 분해능은 $18{\sim}21%$로 검출기 위치가 증가할수록 향상되었다.

There is not yet an universal method of electron dosimetry. The Authors measured dose distributions of the electron beams from Clinac-18 by means of silicon detector connected to X-Y recorder, and compared them in water phantom with dose distributions measured by film and ion chamber, both inserted in polystyrene phantom. The results are as followings, 1. Dose in build-up region increased with the field size for all energy, and depth dose profiles of $6{\sim}12MeV$ beam under the depth of maximum dose were independent of field size, but those of 15 and 18 MeV beam were dependent on the field size. 2. The widths of penumbra by semiconductor detector were narrower than those by film for same energy beam. 3. Depth dose profiles by three different dosimeter did not coincide each other. In the build-up region, dose by semiconductor detector was lower than that by any other dosimeter.
