Final Report of the Gamma-Ray Leakage from the Aberdeen Pulse Radiation Facility (APRF) Reactor.
1995Co-Authors: Craig R. HeimbachAbstract:Abstract : The gamma-ray leakage from the Aberdeen Pulse Radiation Facility (APRF) fast-burst reactor has been measured. A BGO spectrometer was used to measure spectrum, and a Geiger Counter was used to measure dose. The two detectors were consistent, but measured about 60 percent more dose than indicated by calculation.

The Neutron Sensitivity of a Geiger Counter.
1995Co-Authors: Craig R. HeimbachAbstract:Abstract : The sensitivity to neutrons of a Far-West GM-1 Geiger Counter was measured by finding its response in a radiation field dominated by neutrons. The sensitivity to neutrons is only about 0.3 percent of its response to gamma rays. jg

timing the random and anomalous arrival of particles in a Geiger Counter with gps devices
European Journal of Physics, 2008Co-Authors: Francisco J Blanco, F Riggi, P La Rocca, S RiggiAbstract:The properties of the arrival time distribution of particles in a detector have been studied by the use of a small Geiger Counter, with a GPS device to tag the event time. The experiment is intended to check the basic properties of the random arrival time distribution between successive events and to simulate the investigations carried out by professional cosmic ray experiments in the search for anomalous bursts of events.

an educational study of the barometric effect of cosmic rays with a Geiger Counter
Physics Education, 2005Co-Authors: Barbara Famoso, Paola La Rocca, F RiggiAbstract:An educational study of the barometric effect of cosmic rays was carried out using an inexpensive experimental set-up that allowed for long-term monitoring of atmospheric pressure and cosmic ray flux as measured in a Geiger Counter. The investigation was intended as a pilot study in view of ongoing involvements of high-school teams operating similar apparatus.

A Geiger Counter Study of the Cosmic Radiations
2020Co-Authors: William Hayward PickeringAbstract:A discussion of the development of the Geiger Counter as applied to cosmic rays is given. The development of coincidence selecting circuits is particularly emphasised and various types of circuits are described in detail. Experiments dealing with the coincidences observed between three Counters separated by considerable thicknesses of lead are shown to offer evidence that such coincidences are for the most part caused by the passage of single particles in straight lines through the Counters and the intervening lead. Perhaps 10% of the coincidences arise from secondary particles operating at least one of the Counters. Several types of shower experiment are described and an analysis of the curves obtained is made. This leads to an estimate of the rates of absorption of the shower producing radiation and the shower particles. Further experiments give information as to the nature of this radiation and of the showers themselves. Experiments on the variation of the showers with altitude and latitude are also described. These show that although the showers are softer than the general radiation they suffer a smaller latitude effect.

ICETET - Wafer Level Packaging for MEMS Geiger Counter
2012 Fifth International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology, 2012Co-Authors: Asei Miyamoto, Taichi Hashimoto, Kenichi Makimura, Kensuke Kanda, Takayuki Fujita, Kazusuke MaenakaAbstract:The size of conventional Geiger Counters is large because the detector (GM tubes: Geiger muller tubes) is fabricated by mechanical processing. In this paper, an MEMS (micro electro mechanical systems) GM tube using a wafer level packaging is proposed. The MEMS-GM tube with glass/Si/glass stacked structure was fabricated by using anodic bonding and polymer bonding. With the supplied voltage of 2.6 kV to the MEMS-GM tube, pulse waves were observed when an radioactive material approached to the fabricated device.
