Beta spectrum measurements using a quasi-4π detection system based on Si detectors
Abstract:
The accurate measurement of beta spectra is highly important in numerous fields such as nuclear energy, nuclear medicine, ionizing radiation metrology and fundamental physics. We have developed a beta spectrometer close to 4π configuration based on silicon detectors. The influence of self-absorption has been studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations and the source preparation technique has been optimized consequently. The measured spectra from 133Ba and 36Cl decays have been compared with PENELOPE simulations.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
