The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear, in particular to a device for detecting
selenium content in fruits, which comprises a D-D
neutron generator and a measuring chamber, the D-D
neutron generator generates neutrons, the neutrons in the measuring chamber enter a sample to generate
nuclear reaction with atomic nucleuses in the sample in the measuring chamber, and the neutrons in the measuring chamber are generated; after the
atomic nucleus of the measuring chamber is activated, instant gamma rays and delayed gamma rays are released; the high-purity
germanium detector in the measuring chamber receives delayed gamma rays of all elements in the sample in the measuring chamber and converts each
gamma photon into an electric pulse
signal; the
multichannel analyzer is used for converting the electric pulse signals of the measuring chamber into digital signals, dividing channel addresses according to the size of the digital signals, counting the
pulse number and forming a
gamma ray energy spectrum; and the computer in the measuring chamber calculates the
selenium content in the sample in the measuring chamber through the
gamma ray energy spectrum in the measuring chamber. The method has the advantages of low
detection limit, small error and high measurement result precision, and can quickly realize the detection of the
selenium content in the fruits.
