Description

Alpha spectrometers are necessary tools for the identification of actinides and the quantitative determination of their radioactivity. The operation characteristics of alpha spectrometry systems have to be known with respect to resolution and counting efficiency. It is advantageous to do this as quickly as possible. This report presents the experience gained with several solid-state detectors and alpha spectrometer units in the Chemistry Unit at the Agency's Laboratories Seibersdorf. 4 figs, 2 tabs
