✦ Synopsis

This paper describes a novel technique for the detection of "P using a liquid scintillation counter. In this technique 32P is detected in plastic vials which have been given scintillation properties through impregnation with a scintillating liquid. Beta particles emitted by the '9 are detected when they interact with the scintillating walls of the vials.

Measurements show much better repeatability than those using the Cerenkov effect in the walls of glass or plastic vials; counting efficiency is very close to that obtained with the liquid scintillation method.

It was recently demonstrated that in a liquid scintillation spectrometer hard p-emitters (""P, 24Na, lo6Rh, 144Pr, Q"Y, 40K, \*04T1, s"Sr, 13'Cs, 42K) can be measured in aqueous solutions without the addition of scintillator (l-3). This is due to the fact that fast fl-particles in water give rise to
