Radionuclide beta spectra metrology
Annotation in Czech
This project addresses the following scientific and technical objectives: 1. To improve modern measurement techniques for silicon detectors (Si(Li)), solid scintillator crystals (LaBr3/CeBr3) and magnetic spectrometers for measurements of beta spectra. 2. To optimise beta spectrometers, based on Metallic Magnetic Calorimeters (MMCs), and measure new high resolution beta spectra for low (< 100 keV) and intermediate (< 1 MeV) end-point energy pure beta emitters Sm-151, C-14, Tc-99 and Cl-36. 3. To improve theoretical computation methods on the basis of the measured spectra and compare the measured and calculated beta spectra. 4. To investigate the effect of improved beta spectra on absolute activity measurements and measure Bremsstrahlung cross-sections to quantify their effect on absolute activity measurements. 5. To facilitate the take up of the technology and measurement infrastructure developed by the project by the measurement supply chain (accredited laboratories, instrumentation manufacturers) and end users (the nuclear medicine community and the nuclear power industry).
