Sr⁹⁰ as calibration source

Sr⁹⁰ -->Y⁹⁰ + b^-
Y⁹⁰ -->Zr⁹⁰ + b^-

E_max = 500 keV
E_max = 2300 keV

Deflection of electrons

B = 650 G

e^- = 0.458 MeV --> B · R = 2750 G · cm, R = 4.23 cm
e^- = 1.12 MeV --> B · R = 5186  G · cm, R = 7.98 cm
e^- = 1.59 MeV --> B · R = 6801 G · cm, R = 10.46 cm

When e^- ~= 2.0 MeV reach detector A, they would not be detectable.

0.35 · 150 = 52 keV energy loss in A, the threshold is at 75 keV!
