Abstract

Beta particle counting by plastic scintillation counter is a convenient method of determining the beta dose rate from the natural radioactivity in soils, as required for example in the process of luminescence dating of sediments or sherds. Data is presented to establish the optimum thickness of plastic scintillator for such beta dosimetry, found to be about 6 mm.
