title: Performance test and quality control of large area reference sources fabricated by the ink-jet printing technique.
abstract: Quantitative performance tests and evaluations were carried out for large area reference sources fabricated by the ink-jet printing technique developed by NMIJ/AIST. The present tests were performed quantitatively with emphasis on uniformity, surface emission rate and long-term stability. Some techniques to minimize the self-absorption and to control the amount of radioactivity were established. The prototype source fabricated in this study safely satisfies the requirements specified in ISO 8769.
