Tariq Rizvi Alam, Michael G. Spencer, Mark A. Prelas, Mark A. Pierson

Short summary

A Monte Carlo model simulating beta particle self-absorption in tritiated metal sources reveals that beryllium tritide offers higher power output (approx. 4 mW/cm3 with SiC) and efficiency compared to other materials, with optimal source thickness near peak beta particle average energy.
