A radiation detector is a device for measuring nuclear, electromagnetic or light radiation. A nuclear radiation detector identifies nuclear radiation by measuring the emission of ionizing radiation of alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays. Also referred to as a Geiger counter, a nuclear radiation detector consists of two main elements: the processing electronics and the Geiger tube. The Geiger tube is filled with low-pressure inert gas like helium, argon or neon. If…
