A scintillation technique for alpha counting with a zinc sulfide
phosphor is described which exhibits higher efficiency and lower background than
the standard techniques. The zinc sulfide is coated on a Mylar base, and disks
of the phosphor are applied directly to the sample. Counter efficiencies of
about 47% are attained and the background is less than 1 count/hr. (auth)
