Three parallel Geiger-Muller Tubes were used in this project in order to produce a Cosmic Ray Muon Detector that is easy to build, low cost, and contains usable output to graph, visualize, or sonify.

The Geiger-Muller (GM) tube allows a user to measure different types of radiation, including alpha, beta, x, and gamma particles. A GM tube consists of one anode and one cathode enclosed in a ...

The clicking of a Geiger counter is well enough known as a signifier of radioactive materials, due to it providing the menacing sound effect any time a film or TV show deals with radiation. What we’re ...

At this point, atomic clocks are old news. They’ve been quietly keeping our world on schedule for decades now, and have been through several iterations with each generation gaining more accuracy. They ...

The project is concerned on building a detector for ionizing radiation known as Geiger counter with the interfacing on a microcontroller that is capable of connecting to a PC through a USB. There are ...

In Tokyo’s Akihabara electronics district, a Geiger counter sold under the brand name of Shanghai Ergonomics Detecting Instrument Co.’s DP802i costs ¥65,000. For that price, twice the cost in China, ...
