Description/Abstract:
A GAMMA RAY DETECTION SYSTEM FOR BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES THAT WILL YIELD GO OD SPECTRAL DATA AND BE INSENSITIVE TO CHANGES IN SAMPLE SIZE IS BEING INVESTIGATED. IN THIS SYSTEM, THE SAMPLES ARE ROTATED AROUND AN AXIS P ARALLEL TO THE AXIS OF A LONG, CYLINDRICAL NAI DETECTOR. DATA OBTAINED TO DATE ON ITS RESPONSE TO 1 ML AND 1 QUART SAMPLES DEMONSTRATE THAT T HIS SYSTEM CAN BE MADE INSENSITVE TO GEOMETRY CHANGES OF THIS MAGNITUD E WHILE MAINTAINING A USABLE COUNTING EFFICIENCY ( 3 FOR CS-137 ). CO NSTRUCTION DETAILS ARE GIVEN. WORK ON THE SPECTRAL RESPONSE IS STILL I N PROGRESS.
