摘要:

在意大利INFN的Gran Sasso国家实验室(LNGS)的地下深处测量了ZnWO 4晶体闪烁器的放射性污染,总暴露量为3197 kg x h。应用蒙特卡罗模拟、时间幅值分析和脉冲波形分析等方法对ZnWO 4样品的放射性污染进行了估算。其中一种ZnWO 4晶体还通过超低背景γ谱进行了测试。ZnWO 4样品的放射性污染不超过0.002 - 0.8 mBq/kg(取决于放射性核素),总α放射性在0.2 - 2 mBq/kg的范围内。已检测到特定放射性,β活性65 Zn和α活性180 W。研究了重结晶对ZnWO_4晶体放射性纯度的影响。已通过低本底伽马光谱法检查了晶体生长中使用的装置的陶瓷细节样品的放射性污染。简要介绍了进一步提高钨酸锌晶体净化器放射性纯度水平的工程方案。

英文摘要:

The radioactive contamination of ZnWO4 crystal scintillators has been measured deep underground at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) of the INFN in Italy with a total exposure 3197 kg x h. Monte Carlo simulation, time-amplitude and pulse-shape analyses of the data have been applied to estimate the radioactive contamination of the ZnWO4 samples. One of the ZnWO4 crystals has also been tested by ultra-low background gamma spectrometry. The radioactive contaminations of the ZnWO4 samples do not exceed 0.002 -- 0.8 mBq/kg (depending on the radionuclide), the total alpha activity is in the range: 0.2 - 2 mBq/kg. Particular radioactivity, beta active 65Zn and alpha active 180W, has been detected. The effect of the re-crystallization on the radiopurity of the ZnWO4 crystal has been studied. The radioactive contamination of samples of the ceramic details of the set-ups used in the crystals growth has been checked by low background gamma spectrometry. A project scheme on further improvement of the radiopurity level of the ZnWO4 crystal scintillators is briefly addressed.
