Analysis of escape-peak energy helps in gamma-ray spectrometry and nuclear medicine, suggesting improved detection methods.
A catalog of K-XRF escape-peak energy from natural elements and for several energies of gamma-rays incident on a single-element detector is presented. The parameters of a power-model are listed In Table I for predicting the energy of such peaks.In Table II predicted peaks are arranged in order of increasing atomic number (ranging from 4 to 92) of the detector component and for the Kα2 XRF main emission.This catalog is conceived for nuclear medicine and gamma-ray spectrometry where such peak need to be recognized and known as underlying area in order to gain advantage of quantitative analysis, but, also for detector-developers as well as for spectroscopists that should be interested in the issue.
