A proposed numerical method for absolute efficiency calibration of α-spectrometers and its application for activity calculation

In this work, an absolute method to calibrate an α-spectrometer is proposed taking into account the Source-to-Detector, and lateral distances due to eccentric source distribution. An analytical formula to calibrate an α-spectrometer is derived and the Simpson's integration method was utilized t...
