SCINTILLATION COUNTING APPARATUS OF HIGH STABILITY FOR THE COUNTING OF /cap beta/ PARTICLES (in French)

Journal Article · · Bull. inform. sci. et tech.
OSTI ID:4259543
A series of detectors for the scintillation counting of beta particles of high energy is described. This series shows a counting efficiency which compares with Geiger 4 pi counters and a counting stability of about 0.5 per cent for several hours. Those characteristics are obtained with p1astic scintillators, mounted with special light traps, and with Dario 51 AVP photomultipliers. The stability is reached by means of a prestabilization of the mains (0.5 per cent) and of the temperature of the counting chain ( approximately 1 deg C). (auth)
