Abstract
An efficiency extrapolation method is used in liquid scintillation counting for determining activity in an unknown sample. A dynamic and automatic determination of the range of the pulse height spectrum is used to permit a counting measurement in highly quenched samples, and with isotopes having low energy end points. A selected linear regression equation is extrapolated to provide the determination within a predetermined error established by a least squares condition.
