ABSTRACT:
Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) is a versatile method for following the motion of a single radioactive tracer particle in a fluidised bed. However, there are many applications in which it would be useful to be able to follow the motion of two or more particles simultaneously in cooperative motion. The tracers are labelled with different intensities of radiation and located by converging sequentially on centres of activity. Two 600m polyethylene particles have been followed in a 15 cm diameter bed and their contact events studied.
