The efficiency of an anthracene scintillation counter used as the detector in a double magnetic lens beta-ray spectrometer for electrons in the range 0–20 kev has been determined. Monoenergetic electrons generated by an electron gun were focused on the anthracene crystal, the beam being concurrently monitored by an electron collector and electrometer. The results are shown in Fig. 4.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
