Counter tube characteristics

Article no: P2540015

Principle

The counter tube uses the ionising effect of high-energy radiation in order to measure the intensity of the radiation. The counter tube characteristics describe its working range, i.e. the voltage range in which it reliably counts the incoming particles.

Tasks

Determine the counter tube characteristics of the type B counter tube that is used.

Learning objectives
