AN ANTICOINCIDENCE RING FOR A WHOLE-BODY COUNTER

Journal Article · · Canadian Journal of Physics
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1139/p62-078· OSTI ID:4827359
An account is given of an anticoincidence ring of plastic scintillator designed to fit round a 5 in. by 4 in. NaI crystal used as detector in a whole- body counter. This system can produce a marked diminution of the background and can be used to attenuate spectra of nuclides emitting gamma rays in cascade, thus helping in the analysis of complex spectra. (auth)
