Data from a MSDS:
• A survey meter equipped with a G-M pancake or thin-window probe (with window thickness < 0.2 mg/cm2) is effective for detecting Am-241. Detection efficiency is between 5% (end window) and 25% (upper range pancake probe).
• A survey meter equipped with a alpha scintillation probe is suitable for detection of the Am-241. Typical efficiency is 25%-35%.
• Either a gamma counter or a liquid scintillation counter may be used to detect removable Am-241 contamination on wipe tests smears. The efficiency for a liquid scintillation counter can be 100% for detection of alphas.
What else can I help you with?
What is am element?
Element Am is Americium. Americium is radioactive element number ninety five. I would not wanna mess with Americium
What would Americium transmute into if it expelled an alpha particle?
For example americium-241 decay to neptunium-237 and americium-243 decay to neptunium-239.
How would a person acquire americium in their system?
Working with americium in unsafe conditions; but this situation is very improbable in 2010.
What would happen if americium was not discovered?
In this case would not have happened nothing.
What if Americium was replaced with a gamma-emitter in smoke alarms?
It would need a lot more shielding to be as safe as the alpha radiation of Americium.
What is the notation of americium?
The chemical symbol of americium is Am.
What is the reactivity of americium?
Americium is a reactive metal and can react with the majority of other nonmetals; also react with inorganic acids or water vapors.The Pauling electronegativity (a measure of reactivity) of americium is 1,5.
How many portons does americium have?
Not sure about portons but americium has 95 protons.
Is americium a lanthanide?
No. Americium is an actinide.
