Title: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FLUORESCENCE INTENSITY AND COUNTING EFFICIENCY WITH LIQUID SCINTILLATORS

Journal Article · · Intern. J. Appl. Radiation and Isotopes

The relationship between light output and counting effieiency of liquid scintillation samples is examined and found to be in accord with Poisson statistics. The characterization of a single-channel liquid scintillation counter necessary to permit its use as a photometer is described, and the value of such a use is illustrated in several aspects of liquid scintillation counting.
