AN IMPROVED ANTI-COINCIDENCE SHIELD FOR USE IN LOW BACKGROUND COUNTING
Journal Article

· Nuclear Instr. & Methods
A liquid scintillator is used is an anticoincidence shield for eliminating the cosmic-ray component of the background of a Geiger-Mueller (G.E.C. Type GM 4 LB) counted The apparatus is described and its penformance compared wtth that of a shield of Geiger counters. A reduction in background from approximately O.8 cpm (as measured with the Geiger shield) to approximately 0.45 cpm (as measured with the scintillator shield) was obtained. Evidence is presented which suggests that the reduction is due to the detection of cosmic ray- induced reactions in the material surrounding the rounter. (auth)
