| Research Abstract |
A new method for high-sensitivity detection of radioisotopes in U and Th chains was developed. It is based on an ultra low-background beta-gamma spectroscopy, and the detector is made of stacked inorganic scintillator plates with areas as wide as 180mm×180mm. A long-time run was performed in the Oto underground laboratory to investigate the performances of the detector, and the sensitivities of 0.8ppt and 2.2ppt were achieved for the contaminations of U and Th, respectively.
