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, ...

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 ...
