On this principle, Rutherford and Geiger designed a simple counting device which consisted of two electrodes in a glass tube. (See #1908 experiment.) Every alpha particle that passed through the tube would create a pulse of electricity that could be counted. It was an early version of the Geiger counter. [8]: 261
The first commercial liquid scintillation counter was made by Lyle E. Packard and sold to Argonne Cancer Research Hospital at the University of Chicago in 1953. The production model was designed especially for tritium and carbon-14 which were used in metabolic studies in vivo and in vitro .
A Geiger counter (/ ˈ ɡ aɪ ɡ ər /, GY-gər; [1] also known as a Geiger–Müller counter or G-M counter) is an electronic instrument used for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation. It is widely used in applications such as radiation dosimetry , radiological protection , experimental physics and the nuclear industry .
Johannes Wilhelm "Hans" Geiger (/ ˈ ɡ aɪ ɡ ər /; German: [ˈɡaɪɡɐ]; 30 September 1882 – 24 September 1945) was a German physicist.He is best known as the co-inventor of the detector component of the Geiger counter and for the Geiger–Marsden experiment which discovered the atomic nucleus.
Schematic of a Geiger counter using an "end window" tube for low penetration radiation. A loudspeaker is also used for indication. Proportional counters and end-window Geiger-Muller tubes have a very high efficiency for all ionising particles that reach the fill gas.
A Canadian woman was arrested after trying to smuggle over 20 pounds of methamphetamine through a New Zealand airport, authorities said. The illicit drugs were disguised as Christmas presents, New ...
