The present disclosure relates to a
positron annihilation lifetime
spectroscopy measurement method and
system for liquid
scintillation characterization, and relates to the fields of nuclear
spectroscopy and
nuclear detection technologies. In this method, a liquid
scintillation sample is arranged on one side of a
radiation source with a preset distance therebetween. The first energy
signal generated by the decay of the
radiation source is detected to obtain the
start time, the second energy
signal of the
positron entering the liquid
scintillation sample after being released from the
radiation source is detected to obtain the
coincidence time, and the third energy
signal generated by the
positron annihilation is detected to obtain the
stop time. When the
start time and the
coincidence time meet the preset
coincidence selection conditions, the
positron annihilation lifetime spectrum is statistically analyzed according to the
start time and the
stop time. This method does not require the setting of window materials and can flexibly adjust the measurement environment. The coincidence time measured by the liquid scintillation flash is not involved in the statistics, avoiding the influence of the liquid scintillation performance on the accuracy of the measurement results. Instead, the screened start time and
stop time are used for statistics, which can exclude error cases and ensure accurate, flexible, and stable measurement.
