On some corrections to beta spectra measured by toroidal inron-free beta spectrometer

In the investigations of the features of neutron-deficient isotopes to study low-intensity branches of positron decay ST-2 the iron-free beta spectrometer with toroidal magnetic field (light intensity approximately 20%, resolution ability approximately 1%) is used. The influence of the factors distorting β-spectra in case of the ST-2 spectrometer has been studied. In using the sources without the carriers the source thickness at Esub(β) > 100 keV doesn't distort the spectrum. The investigation of the dependence of 22Na positron counting at different energies on theckness of the substrate made it possible to determine the paremeters of backscattering. It was shown that the backgroud of the spectrometer in positron measuring regime at energies Esub(β) > 100 keV didn't depend on the energy. The measurements at the energies higher than maximum positron energy give directly the background value. According to experimental distribution of the lines of conversion electrons the analytical kind of response function of the spectrometer has been obtained. Spectral distribution of monochromatic electrons consists of the peak, described by Gauss distribution, and exponential ''tail'' in the direction of small energies. The investigations showed that with the help of the ST-2 beta spectrometer the decay positron btanches with the intensity up to 0.01% per decay may be determined with the accuracy 2-3 keV. There is principal possibility to study form factors of β-spectra
