Abstract:l study was made of the 8-counting properties of two detectors: a needle probe 3 mm diameter and 2 cm long, and a disc-shaped wafer detector 3 cm diameter and 5 mm thick. These were exposed to thick sources of 1311, *'Na, 32P, and 42K having approximately 47r geometry for the probe and ' x geometry for the wafer. The absorbed energy spectra are shown, together with the resulting integral count rate as a function of discriminator level, and the dependence of these quantities on the sensitive detector volume is … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
