Soft gamma emission from americium-241 is used to measure the thickness of metal sheets and metal coatings the degree of soil compaction sediment concentration in streams and to induce X-ray fluorescence in chemical analysis. Practice procedures without radioactivity prior to performing the procedure with Am-241. All energies are given in keV. The source is an alpha emitter and in the decay.

Americium-241 Am-241 Half-life.
The nucleus of a helium atom made up of two neutrons and two protons with a charge of 2. Am-241 or 241Am Atomic Number. Soft gamma emission from americium-241 is used to measure the thickness of metal sheets and metal coatings the degree of soil compaction sediment concentration in streams and to induce X-ray fluorescence in chemical analysis. Americium-241 is also suitable for calibration of gamma-ray spectrometers in the low-energy range since its spectrum consists of nearly a single gamma peak. Certain radioactive nuclei emit alpha particles. Alpha particles generally carry more energy than gamma or beta particles and deposit that energy very quickly while passing through tissue.
