“…If the beta spectrum is sufficiently energetic, the background may be discriminated against by suitable biasing. Cooling of the photomultiplier tube, the use of two photomultipliers in a coincidence arrangement, (87) or a combination of both techniques may be employed to reduce the background effect. In addition, techniques for increasing the light output of the scintillators may be utilized to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.…”
