摘要
A beta-+-endpoint spectrometer is described, where positrons are observed in an 11 mm thick silicon detector in coincidence with subsequent gamma-rays measured in a germanium detector, and where the summing of the positron energy with the annihilation radiation is prevented by detecting both 511 keV quanta in opposite segments of a BGO ring surrounding the silicon detector. The procedure of measuring and analyzing the data is outlined for the decay of the 11/2--isomer of 149Tb; its endpoint energy is determined to be 1853(10) keV, in agreement with the literature. The accuracy and reliability of beta-+-endpoint measurements is discussed in comparison to the EC/beta-+-ratio method.
