This method is based upon the analytical conclusion of beta emission energy spectrum and the range distribution of an individual beta particles. The mass-attenuation coefficients are obtained as the slope of the semi-log plot of theoretical calculated fraction of transmission vs. the foil thicknesses. This method has been applied to obtain the mass-attenuation coefficients of beta particles in aluminium, copper and gold. The results have been compared with the values given in previous works.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAbsorption-coefficientElectronsAbsorbersEmittersRangesEnergyNuclear Science & TechnologyAluminaAttenuationEmission spectroscopyThickness measurementEmission energy spectrumFoil thicknessMass-attenuationParticles (particulate matter)Article0002340988000032-s2.0-27844558796191819253218Nuclear science & technologyPlane Source; Beta Particles; Proportional Counters
