title: Response tests of a LaCl(3):Ce scintillation detector with low energy prompt gamma rays from boron and cadmium.
abstract: The yield of 478 and 558 keV gamma-rays have been measured from water samples containing 0.031-0.500 wt. % boron and 0.0625-0.500 wt. % cadmium, respectively, using a cylindrical 76 mm × 76 mm (height × diameter) LaCl(3):Ce detector. Inspite of interferences between detector-associated and the sample-associated prompt gamma rays, the LaCl(3):Ce detector has excellent resolution for the low energy prompt gamma-rays. An excellent agreement has been observed between the experimental and calculated yield of boron and cadmium prompt gamma ray from water samples.
