Geiger counting system (Beta counting system) [ TYPE : GC 602A ]
Technical Data
Geiger Counting system type GC602A manufactured by NUCLEONIX is an Advanced Technology based versatile integral counting system designed around eight bit microcontroller chip. This system is highly recommended for research work, apart from, its usefulness in the academic fields for teaching.
This counting system can be useful for carrying out a number of Nuclear Physics experiments such as Characteristics curve of a G.M. Detector, to verify the inverse square law for Gamma Radiation, determination of Beta Absorption correlation factor, efficiency of G.M.Counter for Beta Radiation, determination of the back scattering factor of a material for beta rays etc,. if it is used in a teaching lab.
