Surface electrical conduction in insulator is most important factor to assess the insulation performances of outdoor insulating materials. In this paper, contamination performance of the widely used materials for outdoor insulator - porcelain, EPDM, Silicone rubber - were discussed by measuring properties of average leakage current and scintillation discharge pulses under artificial contamination conditions. The artificial contaminations used were deionized distilled water fog, 0.5wt% NaCl salt fog of light pollution and 2wt% NaCl salt fog of medium pollution. The average leakage current was appeared linearly with applied voltage at dry and clean surface condition. The magnitude of leakage current was almost same at different kinds of samples. In case of deionized distilled water fog, the characteristics of leakage current and applied voltage was most different to that in case of dry and clean condition. In case of salt fog pollution condition. The leakage current was increased above critical voltage. The scintillation discharges were also activated at the level the leakage current and scintillation discharges were increased with increasing pollution degree. The resistance to pollution properties of silicone rubber appeared excellent among them.

In this work, the scintillation properties of CsI:Na crystal were investigated as radiation detection sensor. This scintillation material was grown by a 2-zone vertical Bridgman method. Under X-ray excitation the crystal shows a broad emission band between 280 nm and 690 nm wavelength range, peaking at 413 nm. Energy resolution for $^{137}Cs$ 662 keV $\gamma$-rays of the crystal was measured to be 6.9 %(FWHM). At room temperature, the crystal exhibits three exponential decay time components. The fast and major component of scintillation time profile of the crystal emission decays with a 457 ns time constant. Absolute light yield of the crystal was estimated to be 53,000 ph/MeV using LAAPD. The sample crystal shows proportionality of 30 % in the measured energy range from 31 to 1,333 keV. And the $\alpha/\beta$ ratio of the crystal was 0.14.

Purpose: Positron emisson tomography (PET) is a crucial medical imaging scanner for the detection of cancer lesions. In order to maintain the improved image quality, it is crucial to apply detectors of superior performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare PET image quality using Monte Carlo simulation based on the detector materials of BGO, LSO, and LuAP. Materials and Methods: The Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission (GATE) was used to design the PET detector. Scintillations with BGO, LSO and LuAP were modelled, with a size of 3.95 × 5.3 mm2 (width × height) and 25.0 mm (thickness). The PET detector consisted of 34 blocks per ring and a total of 4 rings. A line source of 1 MBq was modelled and acquired with a radius of 1 mm and length of 20 mm for 20 seconds. The acquired image was reconstructed maximum likelihood expectation maximization with 2 iteration and 10 subsets. The count comparison was carried out. Results and Discussion: The highest true, random, and scatter counts were obtained from the BGO scintillation detector compared to LSO and LuAP. Conclusion: The BGO scintillation detector material indicated excellent performance in terms of detection of gamma rays from emitted PET phantom.

벤젠-액체 섬광계수법에 의한 $^{14}C$연대측정을 하동 목도리 패총에서 산출된 굴패각을 대상으로 행하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 측정방법을 기술하고 그 결과를 비교 검토하였다. 시료는 전처리, 탄산스트론튬, 스트론튬카바이트, 아세틸렌 및 벤젠합성의 제조과정을 거쳤고, 계측은 Wallac 1415 Liquid Scintillation Counter를 사용하였다. 연대측정 결과 본 대학에서는 $4905{\pm}112$ yr BP, 시마네 대학은 $4912{\pm}123$ yr BP로서 거의 통일한 연대치로 나타났다. 벤젠-액체섬광계수법에 의한 $^{14}C$연대측정은 간편히 사용할 수 있는 방법으로서 대학 및 연구소 등에서 보편적으로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

양전자방출단층촬영기기의 검출기는 다수의 섬광 픽셀과 다수의 광센서를 사용하여 구성된다. 다수의 광센서를 사용함으로써 비용이 증가하고 신호처리가 복잡해진다. 본 연구에서는 적은 수의 광센서를 사용하여 비용의 감소와 간결한 신호처리가 가능한 검출기를 설계하였다. 섬광 픽셀과 적은 수의 광센서를 사용하고 모든 광센서에 빛을 전달하기 위해 광가이드를 사용하였다. 섬광 픽셀과 광가이드에는 광센서로 최대한의 빛을 전달하기 위해 반사체를 적용하였다. 반사체는 난반사체 및 거울반사체를 사용하였으며, 광가이드의 두께를 다르게 적용하여 평면 영상을 획득하였다. 획득된 평면 영상의 비교 분석을 통해 최적의 조합을 선택하였다. 그 결과 섬광 픽셀과 광가이드 모두 거울반사체를 사용하였을 경우, 모든 두께의 광가이드에서 우수한 평면 영상을 획득하였다. 광가이드는 섬광 픽셀의 영상이 형성된 지점의 분석 및 영상의 크기를 고려하여 3 mm 두께를 사용할 경우 최적의 영상이 획득되는 결과를 도출하였다.

Scintillation crystals for industrial field are used in fundamental physics i.e. nuclear and high energy physics experiments besides the medical imaging, process control and gauging, container inspection, mineral process etc. For the reason of limited marketability, there are not so many studies with emphasis paced on the crystal growth. The scintillation crystal is an important theme in the studies in the fundamental physics and researchers for crystal growth are expected participate it. The present work is partly supported by a Grant-in-Aid from the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science and Culture.

The separation of scintillation phenomena concurrent with rain attenuation phenomena can be accomplished by filtering. Based on the analysis of satellite signal fading during rain, scintillation and rain attenuation phenomena are examined and extracting from raw data by using adaptive IIR high-pass filter and adaptive IIR low-pass filter. Adaptive IIR filter are designed by using the algorithm of Least Mean p-Power (LMP) Error Criterion which have been modified by Quantizing Gradient technique. This algorithm reduces amount of multiplication computational equal to the length of input data. It is prove here that the convergence speed, variance, bias independence on p values. For this application, p=1 is chosen. The procedure of application ...

우리나라에 방사성동위원소가 진단 및 치료에 이용된지 20여년이 되였으며 특히 80년대에 들어와서는 Scintillation Camera의 급격한 증가가 이뤄지게 되었다. 그러나 많은 기기의 증가로 품질관리가 필요하게 되었다. 핵의학장비의 품질관리 목적은 장비기능의 정상여부를 조기에 발견하여 항상 균등한 질의 영상을 재현시켜 진단을 보다 정확하게 하는데 있다. 따라서 Scintillation Camera를 사용할 때 사용자는 기계의 기능과 성능을 항상 정확하게 파악하여 적절한 대책을 세워 보다 정확한 영상을 얻을 수 있도록 해야 한다. 저자들은 이러한 점을 고러하여 Scintillation Camera의 품질관리에 대한 원칙과 기술적인 문제점을 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

An evaluation of various radiometric methods to analyze $^{226}Ra$ in water has been employed on a set of 10 standard solutions of different concentrations in the range of $1-10Bq/L^{-1}$. The analysis was carried out using well-established procedures by means of gamma-ray, alpha-particle and liquid scintillation spectrometry. The feasibility of the various methods has been quantified in terms of relative standard error and percentage error. Correlations between the various methods have been presented and discussed. In general, good agreement was found in the results of various methodologies, which assures the accuracy of the methods and allows for the validation of instrumentation and procedures. Of the different methods adopted here, a combined procedure for the determination of $^{226}Ra$ along with $^{228}Ra$ using Quantulus 1220 ultra-low level background liquid scintillation counting gave the most accurate results.
