Abstract

This article describes an apparatus producing monoenergetic electrons. This beam having an energy distribution width of only 3% may be used to study light output and attenuation of scintillation counters and for tests of thin-plate spark chambers. The maximum obtainable energy depends on the nature of the source employed. With 600 μc of 90Sr, 500 counts/sec are produced at 2 MeV. Results are given for various scintillators and for light attenuation measurements under particular conditions.
