SCINFI II A program to calculate the standardization curve in liquid scintillation counting

Creators

Description

A code, SCINFI II, written in BASIC, has been developed to compute the efficiency-quench standardization curve for any beta radionuclide. The free parameter method has been applied. The program requires the standardization curve for 3H and the polynomial or tabulated relating counting efficiency as figure of merit for both 3H and the problem radionuclide. The program is applied to the computation, of the counting efficiency for different values of quench when the problem is 14C. The results of four different computation methods are compared.
