This paper presents the performance of a 3GEM in terms of identification of high and low beta energy radiation sources through the energy distribution of the main beta radiation sources used for industrial application 90Sr and 204Tl. We compare the beta radiation theoretical energy loss into the drift zone with experimental energy distribution at different 3GEM voltages. The experimental results show that the Most Probable Value (MPV) of the fitted Landau distribution obtained from 90Sr and 204Tl obtained a degree of error lower than 14% in comparison to the theoretical calculation. Additionally, high energy beta radiation source (90Sr) is identified in comparison to low energy (204Tl) - taking into account the MPV and sigma values from the fitted Landau distribution. These results are essential to design and implement a new application that utilizes the performance and special characteristics of the 3GEM for beta radiation detection and identification.

Este artículo presenta el rendimiento de un 3GEM en términos de identificación de fuentes de radiación beta de alta y baja energía utilizando la distribución de energía de las principales fuentes de radiación utilizadas para aplicaciones industriales: 90Sr y 204Tl. Comparamos la pérdida de energía de la radiación beta dentro de la zona de deriva respecto a datos experimentales a diferentes voltajes del 3GEM. Encontramos que el valor más probable (MPV) de la distribución Landau ajustada para 90Sr y 204Tl tuvo un error menor en un 14% en comparación con los cálculos teóricos. Además, se identifica la fuente de radiación beta de alta energía (90Sr) en comparación con baja energía (204Tl), teniendo en cuenta los valores de MPV y valor sigma de la distribución Landau ajustada. Estos resultados son esenciales para diseñar e implementar una nueva aplicación que explote el rendimiento y las características especiales del 3GEM para la detección e identificación de radiación beta.
