Investigation of Archean gamma-ray fingerprint: Methodology and tectonic application in central Brazil

Gamma-ray spectrometric responses of Archean rocks were studied in order to define a characteristic signature for these rocks. As the half-life of the most frequent Thorium isotope (232Th – half life of 14.05 Ga) is more than 3 times longer relative to the Uranium isotope (238U – half life of 4.50...
