ABOUT LSC INTERNATIONAL
The
mission of LSC International is to offer online resources to researchers in the
field of liquid scintillation counting, and to provide access to an archive of
downloadable publications incorporating over 50 years of LSC research.
The global network of LSC researchers and users is vast. Although it has
no official governing body, the group has assembled every few years since 1957
in an international conference to share and publish information on the latest
advances in the science. Each of these conferences has resulted in a volume of
academic proceedings, yet the older proceedings are becoming increasingly
difficult to obtain, either being out of print or removed from libraries.
LSC International preserves the large body of LSC knowledge into one accessible
online location. Publications are offered in the format of a searchable
database, giving researchers the opportunity to download and print individual
articles or textbooks of interest at no charge. Links to other websites of
potential interest are provided, and will be expanded in months to come. It is
envisioned that the site will also eventually offer a forum for sharing ideas
and asking questions, for posting research/employment opportunities, and for
obtaining or disposing of used equipment.
Created in May 2008 by the Center for Applied Isotope Studies, University of Georgia, this website is still very much
a work-in-progress. We welcome your input, and hope that you will find these
resources useful in your research endeavors. Please feel free to contact us at webmaster@lsc-international.org.
