| Description: | 90Rb is a high-yield short-lived fission product, a highly sensitive detector for low fission burnup, and its half-life is an important nuclear parameter. At present, the ENSDF (Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File) evaluated value for the half-life of 90Rb is (158±5) s (±3.2%). Due to the low energy resolution of early detectors such as Geiger counter, proportional counter and Ge(Li) detector and significant interference of impurity nuclides during the measurement process, the evaluated value is resulted in a high degree of uncertainty, which can’t meet the requirements of low fission burnup analysis. Therefore, it is of practical application value to determine the half-life of 90Rb. In this work, the half-life of 90Rb was tracked and measured by the reference source method with a better energy resolution coaxial HPGe γ spectrometer. During the measurement, characteristic γ radiations of 60Co reference source (1 173.23 keV and 1 332.50 keV) and 90Rb determine source (3 534.24, 4 135.51 and 4 365.9 keV) were tracked. In order to avoid the influence of counting correction caused by dead time and pulse pile-up during the measurement, the ratio R between the counting of 90Rb γ radiations (3 534.24, 4 135.51 and 4 365.9 keV) and the counting of the two characteristic energy (1 173.23 keV and 1 332.50 keV) of 60Co was calculated. By means of weighted linear fitting method, the slope of the ln R-t fitting curve was obtained, and the experimental values of 90Rb half-life were calculated. The uncertainty of the experimental values was comprehensively considered, taking into account the uncertainty introduced by linear fitting and statistical counting. Finally, the weighted average of the experimental values was calculated and the final half-life value with a combined uncertainty was obtained as (160.50±0.47) s (±0.29%). In order to test the reliability of the final half-life value, the relative uncertainty of the data points in each fitting curve was obtained by amplifying the difference between the data points in each ... |
