A HOLLOW PLASTIC BETA SPECTROMETER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4193314
The performance of hollow plastic scintillators fabricated for beta-ray spectroscopy rs described. Also, the method-employed in determination of the maximum betaray energy (transition energy) of Cs/sup 137/, Tl/sup 204/, Sr/sup 90/ , and Y/su p 90/ is presented. A discussion of distortions in Fermi plots is iucluded. Results indicate that this type of spectrometer may be useful in identification of unknown beta emitters. (J.R.D.)
