Any opinions from other members so far ? Cari saluti, Capitano. ... http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/archiv/hst2000/teaching/expt/sascha/sascha.htm...
Dear all, i am currently playing arround with an avalanche photo diode (APD). As expected my current setup is quite sensitive to light in the visible range....
Hi Guys, I have been at work, with the suggestions offered thank you. http://www.hardhack.org.au/radioactive http://www.hardhack.org.au/xrays I now have a...

Hi Robert You might try taking your Geiger counter to a hardware store and asking to check out the gas lamp mantles. Not so many years ago the mantles were...
You may want to "sacrifice" a regular cheap home-use smoke detector. Many smoke detectors use a small ion chamber as the smoke detecting element. Inside the...
Thanks Noel, I have no problem hacking apart a smoke detector, don't know why I don't just pop down to the store a get a few :-P in the first place, I'll get...
Is there any way to visit the LHC underground areas? Or is it all sealed up and off limits to outsiders? I've been to the Microcosm museum but would like to...
Take your geiger counter to flea markets, yard sales or thrift stores, look for an older alarm clock with a radium dial. My dad's old alarm clock provides a...
for some reason my posts are not delivered (at least to me) so here is a forward ... Subject: Latest from the LHC Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 18:02:41 +0100 From:...
Seems fine for me. Clay ... From: particledetector@yahoogroups.com [mailto:particledetector@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ing. Hannes Mayer Sent: Saturday,...
The answer is yes. I arranged a visit for my college physics group. However we had to cancel due to unforseen circumstances. Educational visits are allowed...
I went out on the weekend and bought a smoke detector for only $7AU which has a nice little alloy disk with americium 241 (according the package). It seems to...
G'day Robert, ... this sounds a little strange to me, since alphas won't go thru the glass of the tube. Most likely your source also produces a good amount of...
That is excellent feedback Hannes, as I was very disappointed that I didn't get the same level reaction in the tube detector as I did with a Geiger counter. As...
Robert, Americanium 241 is a strong alpha emitter and a weak gamma emitter. The glass in your tubes will block the alphas. Most Geiger counters have tube...
I've posted a few new files in the Rodney_Howe folder: 090222 and 090220 where there seems to be an increase in the average muon count during the early morning...
I've just bought 10x very cheap Geiger tubes from Russia (all tested ok) and was going to construct a muon detector in a similar configuration to my planned...
Progress is continuing, all be it slowly, as I have been experiencing issues with stability using fluorescent tubes. There are many variable between different...
the first nuclear reactor was not the same as what they are using today. no, this reactor was called a breed reactor. it was such an important discovery in...
Hi all, first of all, I'm very sorry about the long absence! There were some complicated issues I had to deal with. But now things are getting better. When I...
Breeder reactors do not create matter from nothing and do not violate any conservation laws. They merely transmute the non-fissionable uranium-238 isotope,...
Nice to see the list is back. I've been making a few variation of Geiger Muller array detector here is one http://www.hardhack.org.au/geiger_muller_detector...
