Wide area α and β sources - Rectangular and Square

#{name}

The radionuclides are deposited on a 0.01 in (0.3 mm) thick aluminum substrate (anodized surface), fixed on a stainless steel support of thickness 0.1 in (3 mm) ensuring the rigidity of the assembly.

 

The radiological characteristics (emergent flux) of the sources are measured with a calibrated absolute proportional 2π sr counter.

 

It should be noted that the size of a calibration source should be adapted to suit the size of the detector to be controlled or calibrated : it is recommended not to use wide area sources to control detectors of a significantly different size from the detector itself. LEA does not provide any guarantee on results for other uses than those recommended.
