Book Description
A portable sensitive alpha-particle detector has been developed for scanning and surveying small amounts of U-metal on various surfaces. Although there are various possible ways of detecting alpha particles, for the sake of simplicity and serviceability, the method using an ionization chamber in connection with a portable electrometer circuit is employed. Units built in this laboratory have proven very satisfactory. The high sensitivity that has been achieved with these instruments approximates counter sensitivities.

A Portable Rate Meter for Measuring Alpha and Beta Activity
Author: A. R. Jones
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
The instrument which is described in the report, comprises a ratemeter, high voltage supply and scintillation probe. The probe contains a Zns:Ag phosphor laid on a plastic scintillator. By the appropriate selection of amplifier gains and window thicknesses, alpha and beta activity may be measured separately in the presence of one another and in a gamma background. Gamma sensitivity is low but efficiencies have been computed for different energies. Although it is a line powered instrument it can function for eight hours on internal rechargeable batteries for portable use. Salient features of the circuit are described and performance figures given. The setting-up procedure is outlined in an appendix.
