The invention belongs to the technical field of
radiation monitoring, and particularly relates to a design method of a wide-range NaI (T1)
detector, which comprises the following steps of: 1, connecting all lines of the NaI (T1)
detector, and opening a multi-channel analyzer; 2, a 137Cs
radioactive source is adopted, different
preamplifier electronic gains are adjusted, the relation between the
high voltage and the channel position where the
characteristic energy of the 137Cs
radioactive source is located is established, and
energy spectrum data are output; 3, according to the output
energy spectrum data,
preamplifier electronic
gain and
linear amplifier high voltage needed by the
detector are determined; and 4, under the determined
preamplifier electronic
gain required by the detector and the
high voltage condition of the
linear amplifier, different radioactive sources are adopted to carry out energy calibration on the detector, and whether digital
gain needs to be adjusted is determined according to the energy calibration. According to the method, the measuring range of the
sodium iodide gamma-
ray spectrometer can be expanded, so that the
sodium iodide gamma-
ray spectrometer can cover high-energy
radiation monitoring of 3MeV-10MeV or above.
