Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In this paper we present a prototype of a new class of detectors, metallic magnetic calorimeters operating at cryogenic temperatures, which we are developing for absolute activity measurement of low-energy-emitting radionuclides. We explain the detection principle and give a detailed description of the realisation of the prototype, containing an (55)Fe source inside the detector absorber. The analysis of first data taken with this detector is presented and the result of activity measurement compared with liquid scintillation counting. Some ways for reducing the uncertainty that can be achieved with this new technique are proposed. |
