Abstract

A new approach is presented for experimental determination of the cadmium correction factor FCd using the method of varyind Cd-thickness. In this method, the shift of the effective Cd cut-off value by varying the Cd-thickness was taken into consideration FCd for the following isotopes was determined with 1 mm cadmium covers110mAg,114mIn,122Sb,140La,153Sm,116mIn,160Tb,166Ho,176mLu,188Re,192Ir,194Ir198Au,233Pa and239Np.
