Abstract
The response of a storage photostimulable phosphor imager (SPP) system has been studied using alpha- and beta-particle point sources, large area sources and with environmental soil samples previously characteri zed for radionuclide content. Alpha radiation can be easily differenti ated from other radiations. Furthermore, for thin sources, alpha-parti cle emitting radionuclides can be differentiated from each other. A nu mber of other response characteristics of the system are also describe d. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
