Measurement of absolute emission rates of L X-rays

Description

Many radionuclides of high atomic mass emit L x-rays from internal conversion as their only substantial photon emissions. It is hoped that by making careful measurements of the X and #betta#-ray intensities of a number of actinides, nuclides more suitable as standards in the calibration of low energy photon spectrometers than Am-241 might be found. Thorium 230, uranium 234, neptunium 237, plutonium 238, americium 241 and curium 244 were selected in order to determine the absolute emission rates of their L x-rays by alpha-particle gated L x-ray spectrometry
