摘要：

A scintillation spectrometer has been built to measure beta spectra of short-lived isotopes. The spectrometer consists of two scintillators working in coincidence. The equipment has been calibrated for both electrons and positrons up to 9 MeV using the external beam of a betatron. The resolution ΔE of the spectrometer was found to vary with energy E as ΔE ∝ E 1 2. The pile-up of positron pulses with pulses from Compton recoil electrons of the annihilation radiation created in the scintillator was studied in detail. Its influence on the positron end-point energy was found to be small. In order to test the spectrometer, maximum beta energies in the decay of 68Ga, 82Rb, 90Y, 106Rh, and 118I have been determined. © 1969.
