Description
A small, 18-cm bending radius double-focalizing spectrometer has been in use for the investigation of beta spectra from radioactive sources since its construction around 1995, equipped with a small solid-state detector and a state-of-the-art readout. Extensive datasets have been collected to calibrate the device and understand its behaviour, to be leveraged in the measurement of beta spectra that are poorly understood and/or never measured to date. An overview will be given of the device and its performance, and the ongoing measurements.
