Description

In order to investigate the β-particles absorption in organic compounds, an experimental arrangement was designed. A Monte Carlo transport code was also used to simulate this process. This allowed reporting for the first time m ( 90 Y) values in several organic compounds for 90 Sr/ 90 Y isotopic sources. The obtained experimental and calculated values showed a good concordance. Methodological aspects of the m ( 90 Y) determination concerning the range of the absorber's superficial density are discussed. (author)
