The half-life of tritium by absolute counting /

This report presents the results of a measurement of the half-life of tritium by absolute counting. The method consisted of the mass-spectrometric analysis of a hydrogen-tritium mixture enriched in tritium, the dilution of some of this material with hydrogen in a known way to a countable level of activity, and the counting of a portion of the diluted gas in a Geiger counter of known effective volume.Work performed at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory."March 14, 1951 [TIS Issuance Date]."Cover title.Includes bibliographical references (p. 4).This report presents the results of a measurement of the half-life of tritium by absolute counting.
