Description

Experimental values of the 2π α-particle counting rate, C2sub(π), including scattering, divided by the disintegration rate, N0, are reported for uranium dioxide, 210Po and 148Gd sources mounted on platinum backings, and a 210Po source on a U308 backing. The 235UO2 source thicknesses varied from 0.05 to 1.1 mg/cm2. The experimental values of the scattering are in agreement with theoretical values given in Part I (Int. J. Appl. Radiat. Isotop.; 27: 35 (1976)), which take into account source thickness, α-particle energy, and composition of the backing material. (author)
