Am-241 preparation, open, 3.7 kBq

Open sample preparation without permit requirement in Germany for experiments with alpha-radiation, in particular spectroscopy.
The Am-241 is not covered, therefore there is no energy spread or energy loss on account of a covering.
With discriminator pre-amplification 559 931. Resolution of the fine structure is possible. * According to German legislation (StrlSchV) it is generally not necessary to obtain a specific permit when handling authorised samples, as long as the total activity, s calculated by the stipulated summation formula, does not exceed the authorised limit.
