LOW LEVEL COUNTING TECHNIQUES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BIOMEDICAL TRACER PROBLEMS

Journal Article · · J. Exp. Med. Sciences
OSTI ID:4801704
Low-level counting techniques in tracer experiments are discussed with emphasis on the measurement of beta and gamma radiations with Geiger and scintillation counting methods. The basic principles of low-level counting are outlined. Screen-wall counters, internal gas counters, low-level beta counters, scintillation spectrometers, liquid scintillators, and big scintillation installations are described. Biomedical tracer investigations are discussed. Applications of low-level techniques in archaeological dating, biology, and other problems are listed. (M.C.G.)
