Abstract

We describe an experimental arrangement for the investigation of β+-decay end-point energies based on the use of a surface barrier silicon detector for β-particles and two Ge(HP) detectors for photons in a three-axes detection geometry. The system was tested using a 58Co source. The positron end-point energy determined by the Fermi plot analysis of the experimental data was found to be in good agreement with the values quoted in the literature.

Keywords

β+-decay end-point energy; three-axes detection geometry; β-γ coincidences
