Abstract
Abstract: The β-particles emitted from 1 mc of Kr85 sealed in a small nickel capsule were used to excite the characteristic K-X-rays of various elements. It was found that the best arrangement of source and target was with the source sandwiched between two thin foils of the target element. The use of these X-rays as energy references for the calibration of proportional and scintillation counters in the energy region 0 to 100 keV is illustrated. Since the energies of K-X-rays are known to about one part in 104 the accuracy of calibration depends only on the resolution of the instrument under test.

On démontre l'emploi de ces rayons-X comme repères d'énergie pour l'étalonnage des compteurs proportionnels et ceux à scintillation dans la gamme d'énergie 0 á 100 keV. Les énergies des rayons-X-K étant connues à une exactitude d'environ 1 : 104, la précision de l'étalonnage dépend seulement de la résolution de l'instrument mis à l'essai.</abstract><abstract lang="ru">Реферат: β-ЧacTицы, иcпycкaeMыe 1 mc Kr85, пoMeщeHHыM в Heбoльшoй зaпaяHHый Hикeлeвый кaпcюль, пpиMeHялиcь для вoзбyждeHия чapaкTepиcTиЧecкoгo К-излyЧeHия paзлиЧHыч элeMeHToв.

Die zwischen zwei dünnen Folien aus dem Targetmaterial gesandwichte Quelle erwies sich als günstigste Anordnung von Quelle und Target. Die Verwendung dieser Röntgenstrahlen als Energie-referenz zur Kalibrierung von Proportional- und Szintillationszählern im Energiebereich von 0–100 keV wird gezeigt. Da die Energien der K- und L-Strahlung bis auf eins in 104 bekannt sind, hängt die Genauigkeit der Kalibrierung nur vom Auflösungsvermögen des untersuchten Instrumentes ab.</abstract><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>The International Journal Of Applied Radiation And Isotopes</title></titleInfo><titleInfo type="abbreviated"><title>IJARA</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal" authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/JMC-0GLKJH51-B">journal</genre><originInfo><publisher>ELSEVIER</publisher><dateIssued encoding="w3cdtf">196001</dateIssued></originInfo><identifier type="ISSN">0020-708X</identifier><identifier type="PII">S0020-708X(00)X0245-1</identifier><part><date>196001</date><detail type="volume"><number>7</number><caption>vol.</caption></detail><detail type="issue"><number>3</number><caption>no.</caption></detail><extent unit="issue-pages"><start>169</start><end>260</end></extent><extent unit="pages"><start>244</start><end>250</end></extent></part></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">BC9EAD7FDA5855B30484472ABF4552E5F8E8D98B</identifier><identifier type="ark">ark:/67375/6H6-C0STRXLW-K</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1016/0020-708X(60)90045-4</identifier><identifier type="PII">0020-708X(60)90045-4</identifier><recordInfo><recordContentSource authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/XBH-HKKZVM7B-M">elsevier</recordContentSource></recordInfo></mods><json:item><extension>json</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>application/json</mimetype><uri>https://api.istex.fr/document/BC9EAD7FDA5855B30484472ABF4552E5F8E8D98B/metadata/json</uri></json:item></metadata></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
