On the measurement of efficiency of G.M.-counters

Измерение эффективности счетчиков гейгера-мюллера

Abstract

An improved method is given for the determination of the efficiencies of G. M.-counters. Special care has been taken to reduce spurious events resulting from cosmic showers and accidental coincidences. With help of the above method the efficiencies of G. M.-counters used in the authors’ laboratory has been found in most cases to be about 99,3%.

Резюме

Авторами был совершенствован метод измерения эффективности счетчиков Гейгера-Мюллера. Особое внимание уделялось исключению ложных импульсов, вызванных космическими ливнями и случайными совпадениями. С применением зтого метода зффективность счетчиков Г. М., применяемых в лаборатории авторов, в большинстве случаев соствляет около 99,3 процеитов.
