Abstract
The preparation of 114mIn sources of conversion electrons in the energy range 162–190 keV and β continuum with a 1989 keV endpoint via ion implantation of 113In into Al substrates and subsequent irradiation by thermal and epi-thermal neutrons in a nuclear reactor is described.
► Controlled ion implantation of In-113 into thin Al substrate. ► Production of In-114m (half life = 50 days) by neutron irradiation. ► Use of In-114m as a source of electron lines and continuum for calibrations. ► Source reactivation by short neutron irradiation.
