Abstract

Part A and B: Since a radio-nuclide of short half-life is characterized essentially by the decrease in its activity even while it is being measured, the report begins by recalling the basic relationships linking the half-life the counting time, the counting rate and the number of particles recorded. The second part is devoted to the problem of corrections for counting losses due to the idle period of multichannel analyzers. Exact correction formulae have been drawn up for the case where the short half-life radionuclide is pure or contains only a long half-life radio-nuclide. By comparison, charts have been drawn up showing the approximations given by the so-called 'active time' counting and by the counting involving the real time associated with a measurement of the overall idle period, this latter method proving to be more valid than the former. A method is given for reducing the case of a complex mixture to that of a two-component mixture. Part C: The problems connected with the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the decay curves of a mixture of radioactive sources of which one at least has a short half-life are presented.

Part C: The problems connected with the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the decay curves of a mixture of radioactive sources of which one at least has a short half-life are presented. A mathematical description is given of six basic processes for which some elements of Fortran programs are proposed. Two supplementary programs are drawn up for giving an overall treatment of problems of dosage in activation analysis: one on the basis of a simultaneous irradiation of the sample and of one or several known samples, the other with separate irradiation of the unknown and known samples, a dosimeter (activation, or external) being used for normalizing the irradiation flux conditions. (author) [French] Parties A et B: Un radionucleide de periode courte etant defini specialement par la decroissance de son activite pendant la duree meme du comptage, on rappelle en premiere partie de ce rapport les relations fondamentales qui lient periode, temps de comptage, taux de comptage et nombre d'impulsions enregistrees. La seconde partie est consacree au probleme des corrections de pertes au comptage dues au temps mort des analyseurs multicanaux. On a etabli les formules de correction exactes lorsque le radionucleide de periode courte est pur ou seulement accompagne d'un radionucleide de periode longue. Par comparaison on a trace sous forme d'abaques les approximations fournies par le comptage dit 'en temps actif' et par un mode de comptage en temps reel associe a la mesure du temps mort global, ce second procede se revelant plus valable que le premier. Dans le cas d'un melange complexe, on donne le moyen de le ramener au probleme a deux constituants. Partie C: On presente les problemes que pose l'analyse qualitative et quantitative des courbes de decroissance d'un melange de sources radioactives dont au moins une de periode courte. Six procedes fondamentaux sont decrits mathematiquement pour lesquels sont proposes des elements de programmes fortran. Deux programmes supplementaires sont construits pour traiter globalement des problemes de dosages en analyse par activation: l'un base sur l'irradiation simultanee d'un echantillon et d'un ou plusieurs temoins; l'autre sur l'irradiation separee de l'echantillon et du temoin, un dosimetre (par activation ou exterieur) servant a normaliser les conditions de flux d'irradiation.}
