CARBON-14 DATING WITH THE LIQUID SCINTILLATION COUNTER: TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF THE BENZENE SOLVENT

Journal Article · · Science See Saiensu
Samples were analyzed for natural radiocarbon content by a total synthesis of benzene from their organic constituents. The benzene was employed as the solvent in a liquid scintillation counter. The instrument used permitted 15 grams of carbon to be counted with an efficiency of 40% and a background of 13 count/minute. (auth)
