/cap beta/-PARTICLE INTERACTIONS WITH MATTER BACKSCATTERING AND EXCITATION OF CHARACTERISTIC X-RAYS

Journal Article · · Progr. in Nuclear Energy, Ser. IX
OSTI ID:4810430
Discussion is given on uses of radioactive isotopes, such as the absorption or backscattering of beta particles, the production of bremsstrahlung and characteristic x rays by bombarding suitable targets with beta particles, and other related phenomena. Analytical applications of beta backscattering and beta excited x rays are also given. 62 references are included. (P.C.H.)
