%0 Journal Article %T Experimental and Monte Carlo determination of mass absorption coefficients for / beta particles in organic compounds %A Heredia Carmona %A Julio %A D¨ªaz Rizo %A Oscar %J Nucleus %D 2009 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %X abstract in order to investigate the bparticles absorption in organic compounds, an experimental arrangement was designed. a monte carlo transport code was also used to simulate this process. this allowed reporting for the first time m () values in several organic compounds for / isotopic sources. the obtained experimental and calculated values showed a good concordance. methodological aspects of the ¦Ì () determination concerning the range of the absorber¡¯s superficial density are discussed. %K monte carlo method %K organic compounds %K adsorption %K strontium 90 %K yttrium 90 %K beta particles %K strontium compounds %K yttrium compounds %K experimental data. %U http://scielo.sld.cu/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0864-084X2009000100004&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
