Long term stability of the energy of conversion electrons emitted from solid 83 Rb / 83 m Kr source
نویسنده
چکیده
The mono-energetic conversion electrons from the decay of 83mKr represent a unique tool for the energy calibration, energy scale monitoring and systematic studies of the tritium beta spectrum measurement in the neutrino mass experiment KATRIN. For this reason, the long term stability of energy of the 7.5 keV and 17.8 keV conversion electrons populated in the decay of solid 83Rb/83mKr vacuum evaporated sources was examined by means of two electron spectrometers.

Conversion electrons used to monitor the energy scale of electron spectrometer near tritium endpoint – a simulation study
Measurements of the endpoint region of the tritium β–decay spectrum provides good possibility to determine neutrino mass. This, however, needs a perfect monitoring of the spectrometer energy scale. A parallel measurement of electron line of known energy – in particular the 83m Kr conversion K-line – may serve well to this purpose. The 83 Rb decaying to 83m Kr seems to be a very suitable radioac...
متن کاملIsotopes for fundamental research in 83Kr for KATRIN
6 Contents Introduction The advantage of radioisotopic standards compared to other physical standards is the independence of their properties from outer conditions. They are neither sensitive to temperature change nor to progress of time. They serve as influence-free-etalon. That is why their use is advantageous in fundamental research, where high precision is required. For instance in direct n...

Estimation of the height of caved and fractured zones above a longwall panel along with the stability conditions of the goaf area are very crucial to determine the abutment stresses, ground subsidence, and face support as well as designing the surrounding gates and intervening pillars. In this work, the height of caving-fracturing zone above the mined panel is considered as the height of destre...

Introduction: The goal of any type of radiation therapy in the treatment of tumors, in addition to destroying cancer cells, is to minimizing radiation to nearby healthy cells and thus reducing side damages. For this purpose, targeted radiation therapy (TRT) is more effective in treating of single cells or small cluster of cells. The main factor in the success of this method is...
