METHOD OF DETERMINING DEAD TIME FOR PROPORTIONAL GAS COUNTERS OR SCINTILLATION COUNTERS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4031243
A simplified method for determining the dead time of proportional or scintillation counters is described. Simultaneous measurements are made of the number of pulses per unit time and of the integral detector current. The dead time of the counter is determined according to the change in the ratio of the integral current of the detector and the number of pulses per unit time during change of radiation power.
