Abstract
The principles of 4πβ and 4πβ-γ coincidence absolute counting methods are discussed, with particular reference to the corrections required. The practical aspects of source preparation, instrumentation, instrumental adjustments, and counting procedure are described in some detail. Examples are given of the standardisation of several commonly used isotopes and the results obtained are compared with standards obtained from overseas laboratories. The examples include T1-204 which was standardised in this laboratory while participating in an international intercomparison of this isotope.
