Development of MCTS technique for 3-PM liquid scintillation counting.
We have developed a multi-channel time scaling method that is suitable for activity measurement of beta emitting nuclides by means of 3-PM Liquid Scintillation Counting, using non-extending dead times and linear amplifiers. Since it enables to obtain the accidental coincidences directly, the true values for both double and triple coincidences are determined by simply taking into account the correction due to dead times. The advantages of the method are demonstrated by studying the activity of 204Tl and 14C. The measured results were compared with those derived by using the mathematical formulae.
