Preliminary studies on K and L coincidence spectroscopy for optimizing the in vivo XRF measurement of lead in bone

Description

Previous studies treated the optimal combined K and L XRF system which consists of a Cd-109 point source, a low energy Ge detector (LEGe) and a Si(Li) detector. The Monte-Carlo library least-squares (MCLLS) approach and differential operator approach were treated separately. In this work, an approach for combining the MCLLS approach with the differential operator approach (MCDOLLS) is presented and an optimal configuration for coincidence spectroscopy of K and L X-rays is proposed based on preliminary experimental data
