ALPHA PARTICLE THICKNESS GAUGE USING A SOLID STATE DETECTOR

Journal Article · · Nuclear Instr. & Methods
An alpha particle thickness gage is described in wbich the shift in energy of alpha -particles in passing through the material is observed directly by means of a solid state detector and pulse height analyzer. Measurements of the thickness of 1 mg/cm/sup 2/ foils can be made easily to better than 1%. The arrangement is useful for absolute energy loss measurements and some results are given for mylar.
