This procedure yields a more realistic behaviour of the extrapolation curve as compared to the usual polynomial fit. The present paper describes its application to the standardisation of a typical pure beta emitter, namely 35S, by the efficiency tracing technique, and an EC-gamma radionuclide, namely 133Ba. The calculated extrapolations were compared to experimental values obtained at the IPEN.P. 1186-1192openAccessmonte carlo methodsimulationextrapolationcoincidence methodssulfur 35cobalt 60barium 133standardsArtigo de periódico6410.1016/j.apradiso.2006.02.019https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8407-9833https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2478-5757
