Liquid scintillation counting at the limit of detection in biogeosciences [PDF]
Liquid scintillation is widely used to quantify the activity of radioisotopes. We present an overview of the technique and its application to biogeosciences, particularly for turnover rate measurements.

Comparison of the efficacy of biodegradable and non-biodegradable scintillation liquids on the counting of tritium- and [14C]-labeled compounds [PDF]
The widespread use of ³H and 14C in research has generated a large volume of waste mixed with scintillation liquid, requiring an effective control and appropriate storage of liquid radioactive waste.

Time-domain based evaluation of detection efficiency in liquid scintillation counting [PDF]
This work explores the distribution of time intervals between signals from the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) of a liquid scintillation counting (LSC) system when a scintillation burst caused by an ionizing particle is detected. This distribution is termed

Pulse-Shape discrimination with the Counting Test Facility [PDF]
Pulse shape discrimination (PSD) is one of the most distinctive features of liquid scintillators. Since the introduction of the scintillation techniques in the field of particle detection, many studies have been carried out to characterize intrinsic ...

Basic Performance Evaluation of a Radiation Survey Meter That Uses a Plastic-Scintillation Sensor [PDF]
After the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in 2011, many types of survey meters were used, including Geiger–Müller (GM) survey meters, which have long been used to measure β-rays.
