Determination of the counting efficiency in cases of radiation measurement of the widespread solid alpha sources

Определение эффективности счёта для случая неточечных твёрдых α-излучающих источников

  • Published:
Acta Physica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae

Abstract

The dependence of alpha counting efficiency on energy, source thickness and instrument constant are described in a more comprehensive manner than in former publications. The efficiency value calculated theoretically is also supported by experiment.

Резюме

Сообщение знакомит с зависимостью эффективности счёта α-частиц от энергии, — толщины излучающего источника, — и также от констант прибора.

Эти вопросы рассматриваются с охватом ранних сообщений. Теоретически расчитанное значение эффективности подтверждается опытными данными.
