Radionuclide metrology using liquid scintillation counting
TL;DR: In this paper, the free parameter model is used for radionuclide standardization when the calculation of detection efficiency is possible, which is done using a model of the physicochemical processes involved in light emission and also of the statistics of photon emission.

Standardization of pure beta emitters by liquid-scintillation counting
TL;DR: In this article, a precise instrument and method of standardization of beta emitter radioactive solutions by liquid-scintillation counting is described, based on the extrapolation of counting rate to a value achieved when the triple to double ratio (TDCR) approaches unity.

A review of the triple-to-double coincidence ratio (TDCR) method for standardizing radionuclides.
TL;DR: This paper gives a review of the development of the triple-to-double coincidence ratio method for standardizing pure beta- and pure electron capture (EC)-radionuclides and the main aspects and theoretical principle of the method are summarized.

Absolute standardization with liquid scintillation counters
J A B Gibson,H J Gale +1 more
TL;DR: The observed output from a liquid scintillation counter is compared with that predicted theoretically for a wide range of beta-ray emitters and it is demonstrated that the extrapolated integral bias curve has an intercept which is always less than the absolute activity.

A unified approach to the liquid scintillation counting process—I: A comprehensive stochastic model
TL;DR: A mathematical model of the liquid scintillation counting process is described in detail, which numerically unifies the essential energetic and optical aspects of this process and the results it produces are consistent with those observed in laboratory practice.
