The associated X-ray spectra of Amersham caesium-137 afterloading sources
Description
Low-energy X rays are clearly observed in the energy spectra of Amersham 137Cs afterloading sources. Examination is made of the effects of encapsulation and source train attenuation on the source spectra. Estimates of the resulting X-ray intensities are also made. (author)
