EFFECT OF WINDOW ABSORPTION AND SOURCE BACKING ON $beta$-SPECTRA

Journal Article · · Proc. Indian Acad. Sci., Sec. A
OSTI ID:4179068
Estimates of the distortive effects of window absorption and backscattering from source backings on beta -spectra are presented as observed in the intermediate image beta -ray spectrometer. The existence of a scatter- initiating thickness is pointed out and explained. These correction factors are applied to the beta -spectrum of Pm/sup 147/ to estimate their validity. (auth)
