Design and Characterisation of a Low-Photon Flux UV-Radiance Standard for the Calibration of Radioluminescence Detection Systems

Résumé fourni par la source

Abstract For the calibration of the radioluminescence detection systems developed within 19ENV02 RemoteALPHA EMPIR project, two purely optical radiation-based devices, which accurately simulate the radioluminescence induced in air nitrogen by an alpha-particle emitted from a planar radionuclide-based sample, were designed, manufactured, and characterized. The variable low-photon flux radiance sources are based on a combination of two integrating spheres and LEDs as UV-A and UV-C radiation sources. The calibrated maximum integrated photon radiances are 7.5·1011 s−1·m−2·sr−1 for the UV-A (CWL = 337 nm, FWHM = 10 nm) and 3.0·1010 s−1·m−2·sr−1 for the UV-C (CWL = 260 nm, FWHM = 20 nm) spectral range with relative standard uncertainties (k=1) from 5 % (UV-A) to 8 % (UV-C).
