dc.descriptionFrom the 11th International Radiocarbon Conference held in Seattle, Washington, June 20-26, 1982.
dc.description.abstractA mini-gas-proportional counter prototype of 10ml capacity (at NTP) was constructed of oxygen-free Finnish copper. The counter tube will be one of 16 equivalent tubes of a small-sample gas counting system, which is equipped with passive graded shield made of lead, cadmium, and copper and a dual active anticoincidence shield, consisting of an external cosmic gas-proportional and an internal plastic scintillation guard. The aim of this study was to evaluate the parameters leading to the design of a cost-effective and compact shielding package for mini-counters.
