Method for operating a scintillation counter and scintillation counter

摘要

The method involves executing an automatic drift compensation by regulating a ratio of a count rate of incident with an energy, which is greater than a threshold value, and another count rate of the incident with an energy, which is greater than another threshold value, on a predetermined function, particularly on a predetermined target value. A third count rate of the incident is regulated with the energy, which is greater than a third threshold value, on another predetermined function, particularly on another predetermined target value. An independent claim is included for a scintillation counter with optical detector, particularly a single avalanche photodiode or a semiconductor photomultiplier, which has a control device.
