Abstract
Boron and lithium content in various glass fiber-optics, enamel, and lake sediments were determined by measurement of the Cerenkov-radiation of12b and8Li using the fast rabbit-system of the Atominstitute. The decay-curves were also measured using a dead time correction unit (LFC) and evaluated with respect to interferences of other short-lived nuclides. Simultaneously, γ-spectra of short-lived nuclides were measured with the LFC-system. Main interferences in Cerenkov-counting were observed from28Al and16N. High count-rates were measured correctly with the LFC-system. The halflives of8Li and12B were determined as well as their detection limits in glass and lake-sediments.
