Abstract

The practical use of a correction procedure for random coincidence losses, the determination of the detection limit and the standardization of measuring conditions are described. Special correction methods for the interference of the Cu analysis by24Na, the burn-up of the radioactive nuclide formed and the interference of the Pt determination by Au are also given.
