Pulse-shape discrimination in IAEA tritium proportional counters

Creators

  • 1. International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna (Austria)

Description

Two systems of pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) for the reduction of background in low-level proportional counters were tested. A tentative conclusion is drawn that both PSD systems, although they decrease slightly the meson background, do not bring improvement in the analytical accuracy
