Use of Complex Ions in the Efficiency Tracing Method for the Standardization of Pure Beta-emitting Nuclides
A method for the standardization of pure BETA emitters is presented. The technique involves the inclusion of a suitable BETA -- gamma -emitting nuclide with the pure BETA emitter in the deposited source and the use of BETA , gamma -coincidence counting to determine the efficiency of detection of the betas arising from the BETA - gamma - or tracer nuclide. Knowledge of the BETA efficiency for the tracer in a series of sources may then be used to determine the absolute activity of the pure BETA emitter. Nuclides fulfilling the requirements for a simple decay scheme, which also have maximum BETA energies of less than 1 Mev are Sc/sup 46/, Co/sup 60/, Br/sup 82/, Nb/sup 95/, Ce/sup 141/, Lu/s up 177/, Au/sup 198/, and Hg/sup 203/.
