Alpha-Energies of different sources with Multi Channel Analyzer

Principle: An Alpha-spectrometer, consisting of a photodetector, a preamplifier, a pulse height analyser and a recording device for registration of the spectra is calibrated by means of an open Alpha-emitter of known Alphaenergy (241Am). The energy spectrum of a radium source which is in equilibrium with its decay products, is recorded and evaluated. The Alpha- Energies found in this way are allocated to the corresponding nuclides of the radium decay series.

Tasks:
1.   The Alpha-spectrum of the 226Ra is recorded with Multi Channal Analyzer
2.   The calibration spectrum of the open 241Am Alpha-emitter is recorded at the same settings.
3.   The Alpha-energies corresponding to the individual peaks of the Alpha-spectrum of the radium are calculated and compared to the values in the literature.
