The TITAN facility at TRIUMF has recently initiated L-GLUTAMINE POWDER a program of performing decay spectroscopy measurements in an electron-beam ion-trap (EBIT).The unique environment of the EBIT provides backingfree storage of the radioactive ions, while guiding charged decay particles from the trap centre via the strong magnetic field.This measurement technique is able to provide a significant increase in detection sensitivity Oral Care Swabs for photons which result from radioactive decay.
A brief overview of this device is presented, along with methods of improving the signal-to-background ratio for photon detection by reducing Compton scattered events, and eliminating vibrational noise.
