Selective detection of $$^{90}$$Sr/$$^{90}$$Y under gamma-ray field using the liquid light guide Cerenkov counter

Terasaka, Yuta   

In this presentation, we will introduce a method for selectively detecting the $$^{90}$$Sr/$$^{90}$$Y distribution in a gamma-ray environment using a liquid light guide, which is an optical fiber with a liquid core material. This method applies the aforementioned time-of-flight analysis to the liquid light guide to determine the location of radioactive materials. Here, the Cerenkov radiation from $$^{90}$$Sr/$$^{90}$$Y is selectively detected by using the reflection at the light guide's end face, caused by the radiation energy dependence of the Cerenkov radiation angle. The Cerenkov radiation from $$^{90}$$Sr/$$^{90}$$Y is characterized by a larger emission angle and a smaller emission angle for the Cerenkov radiation from gamma-ray emitting nuclides. Therefore, the latter has a greater proportion of reflected components at the light guide's end face compared to the former. Utilizing this feature, the in-situ radioactivity distribution of $$^{90}$$Sr/$$^{90}$$Y can be detected.
