Description

A gas flow multicounter (GM multicounter) is used for counting low-level beta doses. GM multicounters can be used for gas proportional counting of 32Si to 32P. For more information about GM multicounter usage see Krause et. al. 2011.


Dataset NamePI-Supplied DescriptionPI-Supplied Name
Silicon Uptake Kinetics sampled aboard the R/V Pelican during during PE17-04 and PE17-20 along the Northern Gulf of Mexico, specifically the Louisiana Shelf region dominated by the discharge of the Mississippi River plume.Quantification of 32Si activity was done on a GM 25 Multicounters (Risø National Laboratory, Technical University of Denmark), each are configured to analyze five samples simultaneously. System setup includes an anti-coincidence module, which with considerable lead shielding reduces background activity to GM 25 Multicounters (Risø National Laboratory, Technical University of Denmark)
