Beta particle counting efficiency??
Hi!
Can anyone tell me what counting efficiency means? For example if it's put into a question as: "shielded beta counter with 85.7% counting efficiency, 845 counts are accumulated in one week" what does it mean?
How I understand it so far is that it's the ratio between the number of particles counted : # of particles that's actually emitted... is this correct??
Thanks!
