Abstract
We report a new technique with which X-ray absorption measurements of solutions can be made by counting the X-ray induced luminescence from the sample. This technique (scintillation yield) involves the addition of a small amount of scintillator to the sample solution. Simultaneous measurements of X-ray absorption spectra of (CH3)4 Sn in organic scintillator solutions using photoconductivity and scintillation yield are reported to illustrate the feasibility of this technique.
