A plastic scintillation counter prototype
Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2015A new prototype device for beta-ray measurement, a plastic scintillation counter, was assembled as an alternative device to liquid scintillation counters. This device uses plastic scintillation sheets (PS sheets) as a sample applicator without the use of a liquid scintillator.

American Journal of Physics, 1952
A review of the present status of liquid scintillators is given. The theory explaining the properties of the counters is discussed. Preparation of counters is described and counter characteristics such as emission spectra, response to various nuclear radiations, counting efficiencies, and emission intensities from various scintillating solutions are ...

Proceedings of the IRE, 1949
The scintination counter is a relatively new instrument for the detection and measurement of nuclear and atomic radiations. Light produced in a fluorescent material by the incident particle or quantum Is picked up by a photomultiplier tube. The resultant photoelectric emission is amplified in the photomultiplier by a series of secondary-emission stages.

Nuclear scintillation counters
Journal of the British Institution of Radio Engineers, 1951Nuclear radiations impinging on a phosphor produce short flashes of fluorescence, or scintillations, which may be used to detect and measure the radiations. Major advances have recently been made in this technique, through the introduction of high-gain photo-multipliers to detect the scintillations.

Review of Scientific Instruments, 1957
A systematic investigation of the optimum conditions for the design and operation of a gas scintillation counter has been made. The gases studied were xenon, krypton, argon, helium, and various gas mixtures. Both a 6292 and a quartz window K1306 phototube were used with and without quaterphenyl as a wavelength shifter.

Neutron Scintillation Counters
IRE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 1956The various types of neutron scintillation detectors are examined with respect to efficiency, background sensitivity, pulse height and time response. Actual performance of certain counters under different source conditions are considered. These are given in Fig. 1, and include a few imaginary (3) cases.

A Stabilized Scintillation Counter
IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 1964A gain stabilization system for use with a scintillation counter is described. The system uses a Po210 ? source sandwiched between two 0.020" thick discs of plastic phosphor as a reference light source, which is mounted between the NaI(Tl) crystal and the photomultiplier.

The physics of the scintillation counter [PDF]
Journal of Scientific Instruments, 1955 The resolution and performance of scintillation counters used as energy spectrometers are limited by several factors due to the various physical processes involved. The spread in output pulse magnitude when detecting monoenergetic particles is, in the ideal case, due to the statistical fluctuations in the number of photoelectrons produced at the ...

Gas scintillation counters [PDF]
, 1959 Construction details of a 5" diameter 1.7 litre gas scintillation counter are given. The behaviour of the counter when containing He⁴ gas and a mixture of He⁴ and 10% Xe at various total pressures has been investigated. Two 5" photomultiplier tubes and a variety of different gas purifiers were tested in an attempt to obtain the best possible resolution.
