The determination of the minimum safe dead time in 4π β-γ coincidence counting
Abstract
Allowance for the dead time loss is one of the major correction factors required in 4 πβ - γ coincidence counting. A simple method is described for obtaining the optimum β channel dead time, which involves determining a dead time curve, relating the observed total system dead time as a function of an additional dead time inserted in the β channel.
