Window: Hostaphan-foil, alu-steamed on both sides 0.4 mg/cm²
Efficiency for extended sources: (sources 200 mm diameter, source surface 11 mm each below upper edge of the traq, the efficiency can be increased by placing the alpha source on a higher level.) Am-241: 0.06 Bq Sr-90/Y-90: 0.05 Bq C-14: 0.01 Bq
Separation factors: Spillover of beta-rate in the alpha-channel: (Measurement with Sr-90/Y-90): <0.01 alpha-counts per 1000 beta-counts
Spillover of alpha-rate in the beta-channel: Depending on the type of nuclide and on self-absorption of the source. Typical value for Po-210 2 %
Dimensions of the counting chamber including shielding: Height 270 mm Width 600 mm Length 600 mm
