Re: Trinitite
Another bummer. Been trying to load DECAY_v4 since last night. No go. Install program insists the program be loaded to PROGRAM FILES, but WIN10 wont let me mess with that folder, even tho logged in as

Re: Si pin xrf ..1st go
Probably not much on the metal surface helping heat, because there there are rubber feet on the bottor to allow airflow on the bottom surface.
You can however place a goodly chunk of aluminum on the

Ok will do it ...
As you can see in the pic,I placed the detector on a ?metal surface
I hope it also acts as a heatsink?

Re: Si pin xrf ..1st go
Your sensor box and RAPCAP (AmX6 ring) are in good geometry. The case of the GEO-1-2-3 is also a heat sink so make sure there is airflow around it.No blower needed, just natural air. The case gets

Super work Taray. We look forward to your work because you have access to samples we usually don't see here!

Re: Si pin xrf ..1st go
Oops
Error in BIPP pic
Here it is ..
Also managed to correct Am241 orientation and added 2 more.
These exciters are flat-top unlike the regular button like regular ones I used before.

Hi guys
Using 6 Am241 /ludlum lead disc glued to cardboard box
Si pin near orifice
Due to the shape of detector and fear of samples potentially damaging Be window,I opted for this way

Re: Trinitite
Ver 3 is out of date and has errors in it. Use Ver 4.

Re: Trinitite
What version?
Hacker¡¯s Rad Decay Ver 4 shows these yields much lower 238 = La 3.79, 239 La 1.57. Other references also support the lower yields.

Re: Trinitite
Now on to quantification.
It takes the calibrated sample ~3 times longer to reach the peak height of the
BLOB when using the 17.22 keV line.

Re: Trinitite
Geo,
Double check those yields. They look to be about 3x too high. Which program were you using?
