Skalsey, M

A recent proposal to use /sup 37/Ar electron capture decay as a neutrino calibration source for solar neutrino detectors neglected the internal bremsstrahlung radiation accompanying /sup 37/Ar decay. Safety considerations require that MCi-type /sup 37/Ar sources include sufficient shielding to reduce the flux of bremsstrahlung photons.
