Welcome to the Alpha Beta Gamma Society.
This group is for amateurs intersted in building, collecting, repairing, modifying, discussing, and learning about Geiger Counters and other Radiation measuring equipment. We often stray into Electronics, Radio, Astronomy, Optics, Microscopy, and many other aspects of measuring or exploring the Physical Universe.
Mine is sensitive to battery voltage. When the battery goes low but there is no indication of a low battery yet, I start getting intermittent alarms. Cold
You should try an emitter-follower in the first stage. It has no V-gain, but has high input impedance and low output impedance. Perhaps mount this first stage
More tests done today: .- The NPN transistor as first stage seems to works really nice. Gain, bandwidth and signal inversion in a single stage. The problem
Indeed, The output of a NaI(Tl) scintillator is about 230ns. this is pretty much the same regardless of amplitude. This total energy is integrated along with
