$beta$-RAY SPECTROSCOPY USING A HOLLOW PLASTIC SCINTILLATOR

Journal Article · · Intern. J. Appl. Radiation and Isotopes
Specially designed plastic scintillators employing a hollow construction to minimize electron scattering have been used to study accurately beta - spectral distributions down to energies of less than 0.1 Mev. This inexpensive addition to a scintillation gamma -ray spectrometer makes possible resolution of the beta -spectra of isotopic mixtures. This unit is of particular importance in multiple tracer studies involving pure beta -emitters. (auth)
