Scintillation counting of beta activity on filter paper, with monoiso-propylbiphenyl as a solvent of low volatility, was investigated. The method is attractive since no sample preparation is involved, ...

Very low backgroud detectors are required to identify rare events, including solar neutrinos, searches for dark matter, double beta decay events, and searches for proton decay. Liquid scintillation ...

Radionuclide metrology and beta decay studies represent a cornerstone of modern nuclear science, merging refined measurement techniques with advanced theoretical modelling to quantify radioactivity ...

The first method of counting atomic particles was by “scintillations.” Using a microscope, early atomic physicists counted the tiny flashes of light that are made by particles from radium as they hit ...
