Abstract: The accurate measurement of beta spectra is highly important in numerous fields such as nuclear energy, nuclear medicine, ionizing radiation metrology and fundamental physics. We have developed a beta spectrometer close to 4π configuration based on silicon detectors. The influence of self-absorption has been studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations and the source preparation technique has been optimized consequently. The measured spectra from <superscript>133</superscript> Ba and <superscript>36</superscript> Cl decays have been compared with PENELOPE simulations.<br /> (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
