Abstract :
The dependence of the scintillation performances of the beta radiation plastic detectors on its thickness was investigated using the beta radiation source 90Sr+90Y for the thickness from 0.08 to 10 mm. The optimal scintillator thickness for different applications was determined. The choice criteria were the minimum detectable activity (MDA) and resolution
