Description

A 4πβ-γ coincidence system working with cumulative dead times, and associated electronics, is described. The corresponding theoretical formulae are presented. For testing both electronics and formulae, high-activity sources of 60Co (up to 1.2 MBq) have been measured successfully. Their estimated uncertainties at one standard deviation were less than 0.25 %. (author)
