    GM Detector

    I have been experimenting in making a radiation detector using a diode instead of a Gieger Muller Tube. Has anybody tried to do this ? My latest circuit did not seem to pick anything up ,this has a Hamamatsu photo diode covered with aluminium foil.
    Perhaps there not enough gamma radiation where I live to get a result !

    Any thoughts on this ?

    Re: GM Detector

    Is that even possible?

    There must be a reason why people generally use tubes instead...

      Radiation tends to damage semiconductors.
