Abstract
An alpha/beta emission rate counting system which comprises of a large-area windowless multi-wire proportional counter and a digital pulse processing module has been established at the National Institute of Metrology of China, aiming at realizing the absolute measurement of emission rate for alpha and beta sources. Performance of the detector, including high-voltage plateaus and uniformity were measured. Measured emission rates for large-area 241Am and 90Sr/90Y sources when compared with certificated values showed difference within 1.0%, and good agreements achieved.
