On the necessity of alternative methods to determine sample thicknesses and masses

Research output › peer-review

Abstract

The great impact of an inaccurate determination of the sample mass or the layer thickness on nuclear data measurements is discussed. This is illustrated by selected realistic examples. A short survey of the advantages and disadvantages of various methods to determine the mass or the thickness of a layer is given, especially with respect to their consequences on the accuracy of nuclear data measurements.
