摘要
Radioactive contaminations of CaWO4, ZnWO4, CdWO4, and Gd2SiO5:Ce crystal scintillators were measured in the Solotvina Underground Laboratory. The Monte Carlo simulation of contributing radioactive sources, the time-amplitude and pulse-shape analyses of the experimental data were applied. CaWO4 and GSO scintillators are considerably polluted by uranium and thorium, while the total a activity in ZnWO4 and CdWO4 scintillators does not exceed the level of a few mBq/kg. Particular radioactivity was observed in CaWO4 (alpha active W-180), CdWO4 (P active Cd-113, 2v2 beta decay of Cd-116, W-180), and GSO (alpha active Gd-152) detectors. The radioactive contamination of the studied scintillation crystals is compared with that of commonly used detectors.
