Influence of various factors on the value of thoron emanation coefficient [PDF]
Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2021 AbstractThe “powder sandwich” method was adapted to the measuring equipment at the Laboratory of Radiometric Expertise, IFJ PAN (Kraków, Poland). The versatility of the method has been confirmed. The values of thoron emanation coefficients (f) for 16 materials have been determined. It has been found that the value of thoron emanation coefficient is not
