Stabilization of scintillation detector by reference signal from radioactive source

This paper examines the possibility of stabilization of a scintillation detector using an additional detector whose scintillator with respect to the former performs the function of a target, which generates secondary radiation. It is experimentally established that a regulation time constant of 10 sec ensures constancy of the transfer characteristic of the detector with an error of about 1.5% for disturbing effects that correspond to 20% of this characteristic
