OSTI ID:4001768
A type of activity measurement apparatus which permits the simultaneous measurement of the primary and backscattered radiation of a beta emitter is described. In addition to the activity, the beta energy of an emitter is determinable because of the energy dependence of the back-scattered radiation constituents. Some applications are the rapid identification of unknown beta emitters, the measurement of the ratio of two known beta emitters in a mixture (for example, Sr>s8/sup > / Sr>s9/sup >)/and the testing of the degree of purity of individual beta emitters.
