Abstract

GM tube is widely used in the field of radiation measurement. But it's testing accuracy is low. Because the traditional measuring method is affected by the die-time of GM tube. This paper introduces the Time-to-Count technology, which is not affected by die-time and may enhance the testing accuracy of GM tube, and theoretically proves the mathematic rationale of this method. Thereafter, a new method for estimating radiant intensity is proposed, and the new estimate formula is proved to be an unbiased and asymptotic-optimum estimator, and the best estimator in the form of a/∑ti. At last the correctness of this method is verified by computer simulation.
