  • Title: Accuracy testing using thick source alpha-particle spectroscopy for the U and Th series estimations.
    Author: Michael CT, Zacharias N, Hein A.
    Journal: Appl Radiat Isot; 2010; 68(4-5):858-60. PubMed ID: 19900816.
    Abstract:
    The new technique for the calculation of U and Th based on the alpha particle spectrum taken from a thick sample by using a silicon detector (PIPS) is tested and some technical problems are encountered and also some notifications for better accuracy are addressed. This technique which is mainly developed to be used for dose rate determination in TL, OSL and ESR dating applications, gives also the possibility for detecting and estimating possible disequilibrium in U and Th series.
