AN IRON-FREE BETA-RAY SPECTROMETER FOR ELECTRON-ELECTRON COINCIDENCES

Journal Article · · Philippine J. Sci.
OSTI ID:4124474
A description is given of two thin-lens iron-free beta -ray spectrometers that were joined back-to-back at their source ends for electron- electron coincidence spectroscopy. For increased flexibility, the instrument was designed to be easily converted into a gamma -electron coincidence spectrometer by placing a canned NaI(Tl) crystal at the back of the source through a long iron pipe and using one of the spectrometers as a regular beta -ray spectrometer. Tests used to determine the operating characteristics of the spectrometer are discussed. Electronelectron coincidence measurements were conducted for Bi/sup 207/, Hg/sup 203/, and Eu/sup 154/. The results obtaine d seem to indicate a possible use in the field of nuclear spectroscopy. (B.O.G.)
