Abstract
We achieved 42% counting efficiency for P-92 dried onto nitrocellulose filters using an end window Geiger detector and fixed geometry. This efficiency is greater than those previously reported. The counting eff iciency was improved by using a high atomic number backing metal on wh ich the filter is mounted.
