Detection of drift in radioactive counting using the cusum technique
Description
A comparison of the cusum method and kurtosis as the indicator of drift in radioactive counting is made. Modern programmable counters are tested and interesting features are observed with alternate counting of different radionuclides. Patterns of repeated counts suggest that an initial 'settling' period is advisable following a change of radionuclide. (author)
