| Title: | Correction for intrinsic and set dead-time losses in radioactivity counting. |
| Authors: | Wyllie, HA |
| Issue Date: | Dec-1992 |
| Publisher: | Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation |
| Abstract: | Equations are derived for the determination of the intrinsic dead time of the components which precede the paralysis unit in a counting system for measuring radioactivity. The determination depends on the extension of the set dead time by the intrinsic dead time. Improved formulae are given for the dead-time correction of the count rate of a radioactive source in a single-channel system. A variable in the formulae is the intrinsic dead time which is determined concurrently with the counting of the source. The only extra equipment required in a conventional system is a scaler. |
