Investigation of the standardization method with scattered x-rays in matrices prepared with different diluters

In this study, it is considered to evaluate the spectral intensity ratios for different matrices to be prepared using MnO2 and boric acid, sugar, starch and cellulose as binders. The areas under the Compton and coherent scattering peaks with Mn K X-ray were calculated and the relationship between different intensity ratios and the mean atomic number of diluted samples was investigated. 100 mCi Am-241point radioactive source was used to excite the targets. The emitted and scattered X-rays from targets were counted by a ULEGe detector. The changes in the scattering intensity ratios of the mean atomic numbers of the matrices prepared using different diluents were plotted graphically, the calibration curves and correlation coefficients obtained were interpreted. In addition, there is a third-degree polynomial relationship between Icoh+IComp/(μ/ρ)(Kα) intensity ratio of the prepared sample group and mean atomic number. The obtained calibration curves can be used for qualitative analysis in sample groups with the same matrix.
