title: A comparison study on three different radiation detectors used for liquid levelmetry.
abstract: In this paper, three different radiation detectors (BF3 counter, NE213 and BGO scintillators) and an (241)Am-Be isotopic neutron-gamma source have been used for a typical liquid levelmetry. The study shows that the use of the Am-Be source together with an NE213 scintillator has the best performance.
