Learn about the technique of multi-channel measurement using CAMAC to study the cascade transition of 60Co. CAMAC, or Computer Automated Measurement And Control, is useful for experiments with many detectors. This experiment focuses on the 1173 keV and 1332 keV beta decay of 60Co, using CAMAC to detect gamma rays emitted during the decay process. The radioactive source, with an activity of about 105 Bq, decays into 60Ni, emitting two gamma rays sequentially in a few picoseconds. By detecting two gamma rays from the same beta decay in a short time frame, we perform coincidence measurements. Using NaI detectors and electronics, this study showcases correlations in energy spectra from coincidence measurements. Explore the potential of CAMAC in this poster session presentation.

May 27th, 2005 Coincidence measurement of gamma ray from 60Co using CAMAC Shibata lab KOROKU Taisuke Motivation - learn about technique of multi channel measurement using CAMAC - study cascade transition of 60Co CAMAC ( Computer Automated Measurement And Control ) ・ Each module is controlled by “crate controller”. ・ Data are transferred via dataway running along the backplane of crate. One CAMAC module has many channels. → CAMAC is useful for an experiment in which many detectors are used. CAMAC crate
1173 keV 1332 keV beta decay of 60Co Radioactive source for the measurement 60Co decays into 60Ni and two gamma rays are radiated sequentially in a few ps. Therefore, if two gamma rays are detected in a few ps, they originate from the same beta decay.
Coincidence measurement 60Co ( activity ： about 105 Bq ) Electronics NaI detectors In the poster session, I'll show correlations of the energy spectra from coincidence measurement.
