Abstract

A counting rate plateau ends when the gain of the system is such that spurious pulses are detected. For those radiation detectors in which the majority of spurious pulses are produced in a relatively short interval of time following a genuine pulse, a very sensitive method for detecting the end of the plateau consists of observing only those pulses which occur within a few tens of microseconds after a genuine pulse. The gain in sensitivity can be as much as several orders of magnitude over the conventional method and is greater for lower counting rates.
