Abstract. The dose rate of the 90Sr / 90Y beta source used in most luminescence readers is a laboratory key parameter. There well-established body knowledge about parameters controlling accuracy and precision calibration value but some hard-to-explain inconsistencies still exist. Here, we have investigated impact grain size, aliquot size irradiation geometry on resulting through experiments sim...
