The issue of nuclear radiation has resurfaced in the minds of many people today. The news we hear in the media encourages us to undertake extra checks in the areas where we live. The latest breaking ...

The Geiger-Muller (GM) tube allows a user to measure different types of radiation, including alpha, beta, x, and gamma particles. A GM tube consists of one anode and one cathode enclosed in a ...

RECENTLY the recording of coincidences between Geiger counters has become of considerable interest, and several experimental arrangements have been described for this purpose. 1 A common property of ...

A Tokyo Metropolitan University physicist has proposed using routine synchrotron safety equipment to search for dark photons, particles that may explain dark matter. By combining undulator-generated X ...

DURING the development of the method of coincidence counting for nuclear investigations 1,2, it appeared useful to construct a coincidence counter with a variable electrical resolving time in order to ...

Which Geiger counter is best? If you want to monitor radiation levels from a specific source, you need a reliable Geiger counter. This tool can warn you when there is radiation, as well as measure it ...

Geiger counters are a popular hacker project, and may yet prove useful if and when the nuclear apocalypse comes to pass. They’re not the only technology out there for detecting radiation however.

A researcher at Tokyo Metropolitan University has discovered that standard synchrotron safety monitoring can be used to hunt ...
