The development of detectors for both counting and measuring the energy of particles and photons has played an important role in the evolution of nuclear physics. In this experiment, you will be introduced to one such detector the scintillation counter which is particularly suitable for detecting γ-ray photons. You will use it to observe the energy spectrum of γ-rays from several nuclei and stu...

We describe the design, construction and performance of the upgraded DØ muon system for Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Significant improvements have been made to the major subsystems of the DØ muon detector: trigger scintillation counters, tracking detectors, and electronics. The Run II central muon detector has a new scintillation counter system inside the iron toroid and an improve...

Characteristics of a scintillation proportional counter with WLS fiber optics readout is described. The possibility of detection of the proportional scintillation signal produced by the single electron of primary ionization is shown. The counter can be applied for the experiments in ”low–background” physics which require a low energy threshold. E-mail : akimov [email protected]

Tritium activity concentration in Danube river water in Serbia has been determinate using a liquid scintillation counter Quantulus 1220. During December 2010, water samples were taken along the entire course of Danube through Serbia, from HungarianSerbian to Romanian-Serbian border. This investigation is very important because of the nearness of nuclear reactor Paks in Hungary. Sample preparati...

The TopCountTM Microplate Scintillation Counter quantitates radioisotopes by liquid scintillation counting in standard microplate formats. Assays that previously had to be transferred from microplates to vials or to non-standard formats for counting can now be quantitated directly in microplates. TopCount can count up to 12 samples simultaneously with performance comparable to that of discrete ...

A liquid scintillation counter with an active volume 3.05 m x 0.20 m x 0.20 m was constructed with a simple, inexpensive, and rugged design. Some properties of this counter are reported .
