Application of imaging plate technique for separate detection of 3H and 14C

Identification and counting of alpha tracks by using an imaging plate

“…However, detection of alpha particles by IP was influenced by beta/gamma radiation due to its non-selective sensitivity to all species of radiation. At present, several methods for identification of radiation species have been studied (Yamadera et al, 1999;Sugiyama et al, 2006). Among them, the track counting method was considered to be more suitable for identification and counting of alpha tracks .…”
