Hi all, Thanks to"csh" who posted a link to some nice information on GM counters. I looked at his GM pluse generator circuit, and it was fairly similar to one...
Hi Colin, The unwanted positive pulse is caused by the forward voltage of the diodes. In my design I used a shottky diode (BAT85) to reduce this problem. Your...
Hi all in the USA, Just spotted this indicator on eBay.com, 280212231647 It appears to be identical to some that I bought a couple of years ago. They are very...

It should be possible to place the detector in a copper screen (Faraday cage) to determine that the readings are indeed from ionizing radiation and not from...
It's called Neutron Transmutation Doping, or NTD. It tends to have a lot of advantages over regular ion implantation and things like that. Adjust the neutron...
