4pi beta-gamma counting system

The 4pibeta-gamma coincidence/anticoincidence counting system consisting of a high pressure 4pi proportional counter with two 3 in (7.62 cm) × 3 in (7.62 cm) NaI(Tl) detectors in opposition around the 4pi counter which is typically operated at 20 (2 × 106 Pa) atmospheres.
