What is used to detect gamma rays?
By X-ray film or some kind of detector that is the digital equivalent.
What is a Radiac Detector DT-236 PDR-75 used for?
To measure Gamma Ray exposure.
What is used to confirm the presence of depleted uranium?
A gamma ray detector or the chemical analysis of some samples.
Does it matter if aluminum absorbers are near a Geiger-Muller detector when you have a radioactive source of beta particles?
It does if you want to detect the beta radiation. Beta radiation, beta particles, can be stopped with a sheet of aluminum foil. An aluminum "absorber" would act as a shield to the Geiger-Müller (GM) detector and stop the beta radiation, which is really high energy electrons or possibly positrons. Placing a shield between the source of the beta radiation and the GM detector would block the radiation, thus shielding the detector from it. The detector would be "blind" to the radiation. Note that this would be effective if all you wanted to do was look at gamma rays. The gamma rays and the beta radiation would leave the source and head to the GM detector, the beta particles would be blocked by the aluminum, and only the gamma rays would make it to the GM tube to be counted.

What has the author K Svanholm written?
K. Svanholm has written: 'Gamma thermometer and neutron detector application' -- subject(s): Neutron counters, Themometers and themometry
What is alpha particle detector and what is the application of bjt in alpha particle detector?
A Geiger counter, also called a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector that measures ionizing radiation. They detect the emission of nuclear radiation: alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays. A Geiger counter detects radiation by ionization produced in a low-pressure gas in a Geiger-Müller tube
What is the difference between detector and diode detector?
difference between detector and diode
Is there anything more reliable than a geiger counter?
There are good alpha and beta scintillation counters but the geiger counter is usually preferred and is highly reliable. It serves as a portable general purpose alpha, beta, and gamma detector.
What is the palindrome for detector?
"radar" is a palindrome for detector.
What is a palindrome for detector?
Radar is a palindrome for detector.
How do you make a frequency detector?
i just asked for a frequency detector jst as brain wave detector.
What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
