Determination of Self-absorption Correction Factors of Some Algae Samples: An Experimental Study

Öz:
The purpose of this study to examine experimentally self-absorption correction factors (SACFs) of some algae samples using gamma-ray spectrometry. Various algae samples were collected from Boğaçay in Antalya, Turkey. Collected algae samples were dried, and masses of the samples were calculated. Then densities of the samples were calculated. Each of algaes was counted with and without point sources which are 22Na, 60Co, 133Ba, and 137Cs about 1000 seconds using high purity germanium detector. The SACFs of algae samples were calculated between 80 keV and 1332 keV gamma-ray energies. As a result, SACFs of studied algae samples generally reduce as gamma-ray energy enhances. SACFs of some algae samples are nearly steady because of the densities and elemental contents of the studied algaes.

Bazı Alg Örneklerinin Öz-soğurma Düzeltme Faktörünün Belirlenmesi: Deneysel Bir Çalışma

Öz:
Bu çalışmanın amacı bazı alg örneklerinin öz soğurma faktörünü deneysel olarak gama spektroskopisini kullanarak belirlemektir. İncelenen alg örnekler Antalya ili Boğaçay bölgesinden toplanmıştır. Toplanan alg örnekleri kurutulmuş ve kütleleri hesaplanmıştır. Daha sonra örneklerin özkütleleri hesaplanmıştır. Her bir alg örneği yüksek saflıkta germanium dedektörü kullanılarak 22Na, 60Co, 133Ba, and 137Cs noktasal kaynaklar olmadan ve bu noktasal kaynaklar ile birlikte 1000 s sayılmıştır. Alg örneklerinin öz-soğurma düzeltme faktörü 80 keV ile 1332 keV gama enerji aralığında belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, çalışılan alg örneklerinin öz- soğurma düzeltme faktörü değerleri genellikle gama enerjisi arttıkça azalmaktadır. Ayrıca, alg örneklerinin öz-soğurma düzeltme faktörü değerleri düşük foton enerjilerinde fotoeleketrik olayın tesir kesitinin düşük enerjilerde daha yüksek olmasından dolayı daha büyüktür.
