IODP Expedition 371 Natural gamma radiation

Natural gamma radiation (NGR) data in the ~0.1 to 3.0 MeV range were measured using eight custom-designed sodium iodide (thallium) [NaI(Tl)] detectors arranged along the core measurement axis at 20 cm intervals. The NGR system uses layers of passive shielding (lead) and active shielding (plastic scintillators and coincidence electronics) to reduce the cosmic-ray signal for low-count analysis of sediment core sections and to obtain the maximum signal-to-noise ratio. Data are reported on a total counts per second basis and the raw spectral files are available as compressed files for later analysis.本数据集涵盖约0.1至3.0兆电子伏特（MeV）区间的自然伽马辐射（Natural Gamma Radiation, NGR）数据。采集过程中，沿岩心测量轴以20厘米间隔布置了8台定制设计的碘化钠（铊）[NaI(Tl)]探测器。该NGR系统搭载被动屏蔽（铅层）与主动屏蔽（塑料闪烁体及符合电子学电路）结构，可抑制宇宙射线信号，以实现沉积物岩心段的低计数分析，并获取最优信噪比。数据以每秒总计数的形式上报，原始光谱文件以压缩格式存储，可供后续分析使用。
