RE: FW: Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counters

["Doty, Patrick" <fpdoty@SANDIA.GOV>]

I mean count rates.  The pulse characteristics in organic scintillators can

depend strongly on dE/dx, so that recoil proton counts can be binned

separately from electron and gamma counts.  Thus in principle with modern

digital pulse processing, a single instrument could determine both exposure

(from the pulse heights) and effective Q (from the distribution of pulse

widths).  Seems to me this would be useful in health physics.
