  • Title: Portable alpha spectrometer.
    Author: Martín Sánchez A, de la Torre Pérez J.
    Journal: Appl Radiat Isot; 2012 Sep; 70(9):2267-9. PubMed ID: 22405957.
    Abstract:
    Many portable devices have been designed to detect γ-rays or alpha and beta particles. Most of the α-particle detectors give the total count as a result, without identifying the radionuclides existing in the sample. The development of a device allowing rapid and straightforward α-particle spectrometry would be very useful for detecting the radioactive contents of unknown samples. This work describes the construction of a portable device using silicon semiconductor detectors designed to rapidly detect and possibly identify alpha-emitting radionuclides.
