ESB γ sources in paper matrix

ESB γ sources in paper matrix

Radionuclides are deposited on a filter paper, which is then hot-sealed between two thin polyester foils. Source activity is measured with Nal scintillators or HPGe semi-conductors.

** The 12ML01 mixture – Am-241, Cd-109, Ce-139, Co-57, Co-60, Cr-51, Cs-137, Sn-113, Mn-54, Zn-65, Sr-85, Y-88 – generates around 15 peaks over an energy range from 60 keV to 1836 keV. The quantity of each radionuclide is chosen so that the counting rates of the main peak of each radionuclide are the same order of magnitude. See below for additional information on the 12ML01 mixture and on the other mixes available. Other geometries are available on request.

How to compose reference/product no.:

Replace [Type] with the codes M43, M50, M53, M60, M120, M45-51, or M47-53 according to the required geometry. For example: 12ML01 ESB M47-53 [10KBQ]
