In the 70's I visited FermiLab ('twas the National Accelerator Laboratory then, I think) and in the lobby they had a cosmic ray detector that was (based on 30...
... Hi Gary! I've not seen any reference to this type of detector so far... But I'll google for it tomorrow. Just a thought for now: Since there is a heavy...
... Hi Dusty! Pretty cool! A portable muon detector :-) What did you use as power source ? As for the rocks: Since muons degrade quite fast in athmosphere, but...
My detectors were Aware Electronics RM-70s which run off the computer serial port. My laptop battery lasts only about two hours (test ended when I got the...
When I was a tennager, I interened with a group that was hanging cosmic ray detectors off of "Skyhook" Balloons flown out of Palestine Texas. They had a...
Hi All, I wrote to a friend who works at Fermilab, sounds like the big detector was still there fairly recently. Here is his response: ...snip " I last saw...
Hi all! Just came back from my vacation in Italy: 1st week: European Cosmic Ray Symposium in Florence 2nd week: Toscana and Liguria It was fantastic - met many...
[CC to the particledetector group] Hi Lloyd! Welcome aboard :-) ... Pretty cool! Could you describe your system a bit more ? Which tubes ? Coincidence circuit...
Hannes That was a very interesting link to strangelets that you put on this page. I went to the FAQ's, hoping that somebody had explored the obvious question ...

... Hi John! I did not have time to read the whole strangelet-poster at the ECRS, but I will do as soon as I get it via email. Maybe it covers that. The...
... Hi Lloyd! Welcome aboard! :-) ... I also thought about this type, but the price is a bit high. If I may ask, where did you buy it and what did it cost ? ...
I forget off hand just where I bought it, I will have look to see where I got it from. But I recall the unit cost me some $600.00 but the was the counter and...
I got mine from, I just looked from www.seintl.com I bought the Inspector EXP. When I bought this, it was not for just seeing what is coming in, in the form of...
Now here is a mind bender question for you. A GM tube will pick up and show a hit from Alpha particals and show hits from X-Ray and Gamma Rays, but here is the...
... Hi Robert! I've asked one particle physicist at the ECRS about this and he said that it should be possible when the detector is not in the Geiger region...
... Hi Lloyd, I don't think that is possible. In order to detect only xrays you need a specific xray detector, which only detects xrays. It's not that easy to...
Hi Guys My understanding is that gamma and x-rays are identical in as much as they are both electromagnetic waves, and there is an overlap in frequency range. ...
What I have done is this. I have placed a 1/4 lead plate in front of the GM pan-cake to block X-rays. This has worked as a have a X-ray emitter and I do not ...
I am no expert by a long shot...BUT! This is what I know of the two. X-rays are a lower power and can be blocked with even as little as 1/16 of a inch of lead....
... Hi Lloyd! Indeed! The energy (frequency) is the difference. ... That would be most muons and all other sort of high energetic particles. Speaking of other...
The danger of a Alpha emitter is that when it comes to power it is rated as high " Q " like that of 10 or so. While say U-237 is not all that bad. Gamma, I ...
I recall this from when I was a kid from old hospital stuff. There was some type of screen that when X-rays would hit it, it would give off a glow. What was...
... That would be most muons and all other sort of high energetic particles. Speaking of other particles: Anyone owns a deep cave ? Ever thought of a Neutrino...
Hi: Some time ago I read all the info on the Berkeley Lab web page http://www.lbl.gov/abc/cosmic/ This unit uses two photo multiplier tubes that see the light...
