Although environmental radioactivity is all around us, the collective public imagination often associates a negative feeling to this natural phenomenon. To increase the familiarity with this phenomenon we have designed, implemented, and tested an interdisciplinary educational activity for pre-collegiate students in which nuclear engineering and computer science are ancillary to the comprehension of basic physics concepts.
In this report the radioactivity measurement of samples usually found in the environment was studied, using iSpector Digital (Intelligent Silicon Photomultiplier Tube with Digital MCA). After the energy calibration of the system based on LYSO crystal and the calibration verification and tuning with Potassium Chloride sample, the data analysis of the Pozzolana Sample Spectrum as well as the Background measurement was done. Furthermore, the test sample radiation was identified.
The aim of this lab was the full characterization of a system for high energy cosmic ray detection.
