DETECCION DE PARTICULAS ALFA POR MEDIO DE PANTALLAS DE SULFURO DE CINC. ESTUDIE DE SUS CARACTERISTICAS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4038799
A methcd of ZnS(Ag) screen preparation for detecting alpha particles is described. The behavior of the luminophere in a scintillometer is primarily studied and followed by experimental methods in the preparation of screens with the specific qualities required. A sedimentation technique of ZnS(Ag) deposition was employed and followed by hot pressing. The variation of impulse size with the thickness of luminophore was studied, and a maximum value of 6.5 mg/ cm/sup 2/ in unpressed screens and 6 mg/cm/sup 2/ in the pressed ones was found. The''plateau'' curves present flat areas up to 450 volts. The background in the absence of a source is below 0.5 impulse/minute. The mechanical qualities of stability during long times of operation and moderate resistance to abrasion are excellent. (auth)
