Application of the new Monte Carlo code AlfaMC to the calibration of alpha-particle sources
Measurements of α-particle sources require corrections to the counting rate due to scattering and self-absorption in the source and the backing material. In this study, we describe a simple procedure to estimate these corrections using the new Monte Carlo code AlfaMC to consider the effects of scatt...
