Development of a multi-layer silicon beta-ray spectrometer for beta spectrometry and dosimetry at CANDU power plants
Abstract
A compact multi-layer silicon beta-ray spectrometer has been developed for beta spectrometry and dosimetry for the beta-gamma mixed fields encountered at CANDU nuclear plants. Its design is based on the principle that the coincidence operations between silicon detectors make most gamma detection events be rejected while beta detection events are saved in the beta energy region of 0.7 to 3 MeV. A prototype spectrometer consists of a collimator, …
