Abstract

Optimization of the measurement condition for positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) is discussed from the viewpoint of non-destructive "on-site" material inspection. Numerical analysis based on a least-squares estimation and experiments with various sizes of BaF2 scintillators by conventional PALS suggested that the use of relatively large BaF2 scintillators enables on-site material inspection by PALS with reasonable accumulation time and time resolution.
