Gamma energy

These are used invariably for the gamma-energy emitting isotopes, for instance 125I-the more common iodine-isotope. 

These doubly encapsulated strips are the building blocks for assembling plaques or other geometrical forms that are the gamma energy-emitting sources of food irradiators. Figure 5 illustrates one such plaque. 

The light output of NaI(Tl) is about 104 photons, of wavelength 410 nm, per MeV of incident gamma energy. Loaded plastic scintillators yield about 4000 photons per MeV in a wavelength range 350—480 nm.

Gamma Energy for Expected Precision Most Intense Line Based on Counting... 

Gamma energies range up to 2.6 MeV and are partly attenuated by the soil with the result that for a typical exposure situation above ground the predominant contribution to the gamma dose rate arises from radioactive material in the top 30 cm of soil. 

Temperature Effect. The experiments concerning temperature effects are carried out between — 80°C. and -b60°C. in the presence of a 5 A. LMS. Comparison of various experiments with constant ethylene and solid quantity submitted to equal amounts of gamma energy, at temperatures beyond 9°C. which is the critical ethylene temperature, shows the polymerization rate to decrease with increasing temperature. Below 9°C. down to — 80°C., the polymerization rate varies slowly and seems to be slightly affected by temperature. 

At this moment the gamma energy is such that the interaction probability by photoelectric effect becomes greater than by Compton effect. Attention has to be drawn to the fact that, electron removal from the K level will take place in a preferential way 47, 49) when resonance conditions are approached. 

If we make a balance at this particular moment of the degradation process we see that the incident gamma energy Fo (1 M.e.v.) is statistically shared between (1) 7 betas, their energy ranging between Ea/2) (500 k.e.v.) and Ez (80 k.e.v.), and (2) 7 ions, the sum of their potential energy being less than 0.5% of Eo.
