β Spectroscopy

This book is designed as an advanced guide for experiments in Modern Physics. It covers the beta Spectroscopy Experiment: theory, Fermi function and Kurie plot, experimental setup, data analysis, calibration, spectrum analysis of the electron conversion, background measurement, experimental measurement of some beta emitters, determination of the energy resolution of the detector, determination of the increase relativistic mass Deltam / m , activity versus time plot, etc. It is included the deduction of many formulas and the statistical analysis in order to clear the concepts and to get the concordance between the theory and the experiment. It is hoped that this book fills all needs of the students to get the fundaments of advanced experiments and to achieve the interest and motivation of the students for the real nature of the Physics.
