Hi Charles! ... Yes, normal air at normal pressure. ... Have not considered this so far... Well, this probably means that the flat detectors are not suitable ...
... I may be totally off but here's what I'm thinking. Some circuit breakers -- big ones like the power company uses for the grid -- were filled with a sulfur...
Hannes, With a bit of web seraching I found a quote describing what I remembered about SF6. "...It happens that Fluorides, such as Uranium Hexafluoride and...

Hi all! FYI: I discovered a new company for high-voltage modules: http://www.spellmanhv.com They have very neat modules - I just ordered a MM1.5N1.5/12 ...
Thanks Hannes! John Bristol, UK ... From: particledetector@yahoogroups.com [mailto:particledetector@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Hannes Mayer Sent: 31 October...
... Hi John! You're welcome! Just a few more details on the Spellman module: Type: MM1.5N1.5/12 Size: 4cm x 4cm x 2cm Price: 50 USD They ship by regular...
Hi, group, I am continuing activities with a G-M tube. Literature suggests that cosmic ray muons reach the ground at a rate of 6,000 to 12,000 per sq meter per...
William, First of all, I am new to the group. Are you using a single tube or two tubes with a coincidence detector? If you are using a single tube you are...
Hi William! ... Yes, the majority of the counts you get with a GM-tube is background radiation, but not necessarily radon only. ... Have a look at: ...

Hi all! This list has been way too quiet - and I've been way too busy to contribute myself - if you've got a minute, post any new developments on your own...
Thanks for your comments. Maybe I could dig a thousand foot hole in my yard and place a neutron detector at the bottom! Ha! At Least I will know what normal...
I am only using one G-M tube. Could not afford two for a coincidence counter in the forseeable future. Probably will try to look for count rate varience when...
I guess i better come clean...I'm new to the group. I haven't had anything to contribute but have just been monitoring for a couple of weeks. I actually...
Radiation Resistant Computers Researchers are developing advanced computers that can think clearly even when they're bombarded by space radiation. More at: ...
Hi guys! I am new on this group. My name is Adrian and I am doing a master of science at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. We are doing some outreach...
... Hello ! You are romanian ? What master (what speciality) of science you do in Montreal ? Daca vrei hai mai bine sa vorbim pe romaneste ! Cat despre raspuns...
... Hi Adrian! I've built a cloud chamber at CERN last year: http://www.cosmicrays.org/muon-cloud-chamber.php I guess there is no "safe" way of detecting...

Hi Hannes! The whole website is yours? You seem to know a lot about particle physics then (at least about the detector building part of the experimental...
