Geiger muller counter
The document summarizes the Geiger-Müller counter, which detects ionizing radiation using a Geiger-Müller tube. It consists of the tube filled with an inert gas at low pressure and high voltage applied. When radiation enters the tube, it causes ionization which produces an electric current as electrons are attracted to the high voltage electrode. This creates a cascade of additional ionization, allowing the radiation to be detected. Geiger counters are used to measure radiation levels for applications like radiation dosimetry and nuclear industry. They exist in different designs depending on the type of radiation being detected.

NMR spectroscopy is an analytical technique that uses the magnetic properties of certain nuclei, such as 1H and 13C, to characterize organic molecules. It was independently developed in the 1940s-1950s by groups at Harvard and Stanford, with Nobel Prizes awarded. There are two main types - 1H NMR studies hydrogen atoms and 13C NMR studies carbon atoms. The instrument uses a strong magnet to align nuclear spins, radio waves to excite them, and detectors to measure the radiofrequency energy emitted as the spins relax. NMR provides information about a molecule's structure through analysis of peak positions in its spectrum.

Radioactivity
Radioactivity is the process of spontaneous disintegration of unstable nuclei through emission of radiation. There are three main types of radiation emitted: alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Alpha particles have the highest ionizing power but lowest penetration ability. Beta particles are high energy electrons emitted from neutron decay. Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation emitted during nuclear transitions. Radioactivity can be natural, occurring in heavy elements like uranium, or artificial through bombardment of stable nuclei. It is measured using instruments like Geiger counters and detected through ionization of matter.
GEIGER MULLER COUNTER
The document summarizes a presentation on the Geiger-Muller counter, an instrument that detects ionizing radiation such as alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma radiation. It works by ionizing gas molecules when energetic charged particles pass through. This produces electrons that are accelerated and cause further ionization, generating a large number of electrons in an avalanche effect. The Geiger-Muller counter consists of a hollow cylindrical gas tube filled with inert gas and vapor that is enclosed in a partially evacuated glass tube with a central anode wire. When radiation enters the tube, it ionizes gas molecules, producing electrons that accelerate and cause further ionization, generating current pulses that are counted to measure radiation levels.

Phase contrast and Fluorescent microscope
Phase contrast and fluorescence microscopes allow viewing of unstained live samples.
Phase contrast microscopy uses interference of light waves passing through a sample to create contrast between structures of different refractive indices. Fluorescence microscopy employs fluorophores and fluorescent dyes excited by UV or blue light to emit visible light, allowing specific structures to be viewed with a dark background. Both techniques have advanced biological and medical research by enabling observation of otherwise transparent live cells and structures.
Radioisotope Techniques
1. Radioactivity is the spontaneous disintegration of unstable atomic nuclei through radioactive decay, releasing energy and radiation. Radioactive materials contain unstable nuclei that emit particles like alpha or beta particles during decay.
2. A Geiger-Müller counter detects ionizing radiation through gas ionization. When radiation enters the GM tube, it causes electrons to be ejected from gas atoms, creating an avalanche effect along the wire that is detected as pulses and counted.
3. Scintillation counting uses scintillator crystals that emit a flash of light when struck by radiation. This light is amplified via photomultiplier tube and counted electronically to measure radiation levels. Autoradiography uses radioactive samples and photographic film
Geiger muller counter- brief introduction
The document summarizes the key components and operating principles of a Geiger-Müller counter, which is an instrument used to detect ionizing radiation. It consists of a Geiger-Müller tube filled with an inert gas and a high voltage supply. When radiation enters the tube, it causes ionization events that produce an electrical pulse that is counted by the attached electronics. There are two main types - end window tubes for lower energy radiation and thin or thick-walled windowless tubes for higher energy betas and gammas. The counter operates by amplifying the initial ionization using Townsend discharge to produce a detectable pulse for each radiation interaction in the gas.

Geiger muller counting system
A Geiger-Muller counter consists of a gas-filled tube that detects ionizing radiation such as alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. When radiation enters the tube, it ionizes the gas and produces a pulse of current that is counted by a scaler. To prevent additional pulses from a single radiation event, a small amount of quenching gas is added which absorbs excess energy and prevents further ionization of the main gas. The Geiger-Muller counter has a dead time after each detection where it cannot detect additional radiation as it re-establishes the electric field inside the tube.

The document discusses different types of radiation detection, focusing on gas-filled detectors and ionization chambers. There are two main effects of radiation: ionization and excitation. Gas-filled detectors measure ionization produced in gas. Ionization chambers are the simplest gas-filled detectors and work by collecting ion pairs created through gas ionization using an electric field to measure radiation. Ionization chambers are useful for radiation measurement and medical applications like dose calibration.
Luminescence

It also explained the working principles of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and how direct bandgap semiconductors allow for light emission. Additional topics covered included solar cells and their use in applications such as toys, watches and water pumping.
Autoradiography
Autoradiography is a bioanalytical technique used to visualize the distribution of radioactive substances in a biological sample. It involves placing a radioactive sample in contact with a photographic emulsion, which is then exposed over time. This allows the emulsion to capture the radioactive emissions and create an image showing where in the sample the radioactivity is located. Autoradiography provides high sensitivity and can be used to study the localization and movement of radioactive tracers in tissues, cells, and even biomolecules.
Radioisotope technique and methods
An isotope is one of two or more atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
Unstable isotopes are called Radioisotopes.
uses of radioisotopes are many which are discussed in this slide.
transmission Electron Microscopy (Tem)
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) uses an electron beam to produce highly magnified images of very small specimens. It works by passing electrons through a thin specimen, and its high resolution allows it to view structures as small as viruses. TEM consists of an electron gun, image producing system with lenses, and an image recording system. It has applications in fields like medicine, materials science, and nanotechnology for viewing cell structures, bacteria, and nanoparticles. TEM provides powerful magnification and high-quality images but is also expensive to operate and maintain.
AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy)
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was developed in 1986 as an extension of scanning tunneling microscopy to image non-conductive surfaces. AFM uses a sharp probe at the end of a flexible cantilever to measure the tiny forces between the probe and sample surface. As the probe scans the surface, these interatomic forces cause the cantilever to deflect, and a laser detects these deflections to create a 3D topographic image of the surface with angstrom-scale resolution. AFM provides topographic and force measurements and can image surfaces in open air or liquid with minimal sample preparation. It has applications in fields including solid state physics, molecular biology, and materials science.

GM Counter and application in soil studies
The Geiger-Muller (GM) counter is an instrument that detects ionizing radiation such as alpha, beta, and gamma particles using the ionization effect in a GM tube. It works by producing an avalanche effect when ionizing particles pass through the tube, filled with a noble gas at low pressure, creating a pulse that is counted. While GM counters have limitations like low efficiency and inability to differentiate radiation types, they are widely used in applications like soil studies due to their simple sample preparation and ability to directly measure radiation from samples. In soil studies, GM counters are used to evaluate dynamics of radioactive tracers like phosphorus-32 and phosphorus-33 in soil-plant systems.
Nuclear i nstrumentation
Nuclear radiation detectors function by detecting nuclear particles or radiation using two main principles: ionization and excitation of atoms. There are two main types of radiation detectors: gas-filled detectors like ionization chambers which measure ionization produced in a gas, and scintillation counters which use a scintillator material to produce light pulses from incident radiation that are then converted to electrical signals. Common radiation detectors include Geiger-Muller tubes, which use a gas-filled tube and high voltage to produce a cascade of ion pairs to detect radiation, and scintillation counters, which use a scintillator and photomultiplier tube to convert radiation interactions into light and then an electrical signal.

Ijmet 09 11_003
Alfa, beta and gamma ray detection research has been done with Geiger Muller
detector which is aimed to know the influence of distance to the radiation intensity and
the influence of barrier thickness to the radiation intensity of radioactive rays. In this
study three radioactive sources of alpha, beta and gamma rays were used. While the type
of barrier used were aluminum, copper and plastic. Based on the results of the research,
it was found that the radiation intensity of radioactive rays was inversely proportional to
the square of the radioactive source distance to the Geiger Muller detector. In addition,
the thicker the barrier through which the radioactive rays are, the smaller the radiation
intensity shown in the digital counter. In this case based on the thickness of the buffer, the
barrier which has the greatest radiation intensity to the smallest are the plastics,
aluminum, and copper. When comparing the intensities of the three radioactive sources,
the greatest penetrating power to the smallest of the three radioactive elements are,
respectively, gamma rays, beta rays and alpha rays.
Gamma ray spectroscopy
Gamma ray spectroscopy is a technique that uses gamma ray detectors to identify radioactive isotopes and nuclides in a sample. It works by measuring the energy of gamma rays emitted using detectors like scintillation or semiconductor detectors. The detector converts the gamma ray energy into electrical signals. A multichannel analyzer then measures and records the energy levels, producing a spectrum that reveals the gamma ray source by comparing energy levels to known radioactive isotopes. Gamma ray spectroscopy has applications in fields like nuclear physics, medicine, space exploration, and archaeology.

This document discusses different types of radiation detectors, including scintillation detectors, Geiger-Muller (GM) counters, and proportional counters. Scintillation detectors detect radiation via scintillation light produced in luminescent materials coupled to photomultiplier tubes. GM counters use gas multiplication in Geiger-Muller tubes to detect ionizing radiation via voltage pulses. Proportional counters operate at lower voltages to provide energy information, while GM counters only indicate detection.
The geiger muller tube experiment .
1. The Geiger-Müller tube is used to detect ionizing radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, alpha particles, and beta particles. It works by using a gas-filled tube and high voltage to produce an electrical pulse for each ionizing event caused by radiation.
2. The document discusses the components used in a Geiger-Müller tube experiment including the tube itself, radioactive sources, a scaler to count pulses, and a high voltage supply. It explains how radiation interacts with the gas in the tube to produce ions and electrical pulses that can be counted.
3. Results are analyzed in terms of counts measured over time which provide an approximation of radiation activity, measured in units called bec

Detection of Radioactive Contamination
The document discusses methods for detecting radioactive contamination. It describes radioactive elements, decay, and half-life. Sources of contamination include natural radioactive minerals and fallout from nuclear explosions. Detection methods covered are Geiger-Muller counters and gamma-ray spectroscopy. Health effects of radiation exposure can include acute radiation syndrome and cancer depending on dose levels. Checking plant samples can help ensure medicinal herbs are safe for consumption given normal usage amounts.
Radiation Detection Principles.pptx
Radiation detection principles involve using detectors to determine if radiation is present, how much radiation exists, and characteristics of the radiation such as the isotope or energy. Common detector types include gas-filled detectors like proportional and Geiger-Muller counters, scintillation detectors using materials like sodium iodide, and solid state detectors made of semiconductors. Gas detectors work by ionizing gas when radiation passes through, while scintillation detectors use radiation-induced flashes of light and solid state detectors measure charge carriers freed in semiconductor materials.
Radioisotopes
This document discusses general techniques for detecting radioisotopes, including photographic film, Geiger-Muller counters, scintillation counters, and autoradiography. Photographic film absorbs radiation and darkens. Geiger-Muller counters use ionization of gas to detect radiation pulses. Scintillation counters generate photons detected by PMT tubes. Autoradiography exposes film to emissions from radioisotopes on plates to image radioactive areas.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

- 3. The Geiger Counter is an instrument used for measuring ionizing radiation. It detects ionization radiations such as α-particles, β- particles and γ-rays using the ionization effect produced in a Geiger-Müller tube. It is perhaps one of the world’s best-known radiation detecting instrument. Introduction
- 4. In 1908,the first model of G.M. Counter was developed by Hans Geiger and Ernest Rutherford which was only capable of detecting α-particles. In1928, Geiger and Walther Muller developed advanced model of Geiger Muller Counter consisting of sealed G.M. Tube capable of detecting all kinds of radiations. Interesting fact is that it was developed under- supervision of Hans Geiger by Walther Muller who, was PhD student of Sir Hans Geiger. History
- 5. Basic Components A Geiger counter consists of a Geiger-Müller tube, the sensing element which detects the radiation, and the processing electronics, which displays the result. The Geiger-Müller tube is filled with an inert gas such as helium, neon, or argon at low pressure, to which a high voltage typically 400- 600 V is applied.
- 8. Principle & Working All the nuclear radiations such as alpha, beta and gamma radiation will ionize while passing through a gaseous medium. This ionizing property of nuclear radiations is used for the detection. In the GM counter the central wire acts as anode and the tube acts as cathode.
- 9. When an ionizing radiation such as alpha, beta, gamma radiation enters the tube it ionizes some of the gas molecules in tube. From these ionized atoms an electron comes out of atom, the remaining atom is positively charged. Due to the high voltage in tube, it produces electric field. The electrons that come out of atom are attracted to positive electrode and positively charged atoms are attracted to negative electrode. This produces a pulse of current in wires connected to electrodes and the pulse is counted.
