The document discusses the history and principles of the Geiger-Muller counter. It was originally developed in 1908 to detect alpha particles, and was improved in 1928 by Geiger and Muller to detect all types of radiation. A GM counter consists of a Geiger-Muller tube filled with gas at low pressure. When ionizing radiation enters the tube, it produces ion pairs that create a conductive path, allowing current to flow and radiation to be detected. An experiment is described to use a GM counter setup to determine the range of beta particles by measuring ionization current at varying distances from a radioactive source.

Assignment radiation
A Geiger-Mueller counter detects and measures different types of radiation by using the principle of gas multiplication. When radiation interacts with gas in the counter, it causes ionization which produces electrons. These electrons are accelerated and cause further ionizations, resulting in an "electron avalanche" and electric pulse that can be amplified and counted to measure radiation. Though it cannot differentiate radiation types, it can detect low energies due to signal amplification from gas multiplication.
Pressure Measurement Part II
This document discusses various pressure measurement techniques in three parts. Part two describes elastic pressure transducers including C-type Bourdon tubes, diaphragm pressure transducers, and bellows. It also discusses various vacuum measurement methods such as capsule, McLeod, Pirani, thermocouple, ionization, Knudsen, and quartz reference gauges. Elastic transducers convert pressure into motion using deflection. Diaphragms and bellows have multiple capsules that cumulatively deflect under pressure. Vacuum gauges measure pressure below atmospheric using thermal conductivity, ion generation, or radiation effects that vary with pressure.
Metrology in Nuclear Power Plant
The document discusses various measurement instruments used in a nuclear power plant, including resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermocouples, optical fiber sensors, fission chambers, scintillation counters, and Geiger-Muller counters. RTDs measure temperature by detecting changes in electrical resistance as temperature varies, while thermocouples use the thermoelectric effect. Optical fiber sensors can detect parameters like temperature, pressure, or radiation over long distances. Fission chambers detect neutrons using coated uranium-235 and the ionization of gas from nuclear fission. Scintillation counters and Geiger-Muller counters both use ionization effects to detect different types of radiation.

The document provides information about various types of instruments used to measure electrical quantities like current, voltage, power, and temperature. It discusses the definitions, principles, constructions, and workings of galvanometers, voltmeters, ammeters, wattmeters, dynamometers, energy meters, and thermoelectric instruments. The key points are:
- Galvanometers measure small currents using the magnetic torque produced when a current-carrying coil is placed in a magnetic field.
- Instruments can be converted to voltmeters and ammeters by connecting galvanometers in series with high resistances or in parallel with low resistances, respectively.
- Hot-wire instruments use expansion of a wire due to heating by current
Radiation detectors
This document provides an overview of radiation detectors. It discusses why radiation detection is important, how radiation interacts with matter, common types of detectors like ionization chambers, proportional counters, and GM counters, and how detectors work to detect different types of radiation. Specific examples are given around using an ion chamber survey meter to detect x-rays. Key factors around detector selection, specifications, and operating principles are summarized.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Gm counter
- 1. GM Counter Presented by: Ehsan Yousaf Roll no: SSR-18-12 (Replica)
- 3. Introduction • The Geiger Muller Counter is an instrument used for measuring ionizing radiation. • It detects ionization radiations such as α- particles, β-particles and ϒ rays using the ionization effect produced in a GM Counter.
- 4. History • The original detection principle was discovered in 1908. • In 1908, The first model of GM counter was developed by Hans Gieger and Ernest Rutherford which was only capable of detecting alpha particles. • In 1928, Geiger and Walther Muller developed advanced model of GM counter consisting of sealed GM Tube capable of detecting all kinds of radiation. • With the development of the GM tube in 1928 that the GM counter became a practical Instrument.
- 5. GM Counter
- 6. Principle • A GM counter consists of Geiger-Muller tube, the sensing element which detects radiation. • GM Tube is filled with an inert gas such as Helium, Neon or Argon at low pressure to which high voltage is applied. • GM Tube briefly conducts electrical charge when a particle or photon of incident radiation makes the gas conductive by ionization

- 9. Principle of Operation: When a single gamma or beta ray entering the tube, a small amount of ionization is produced. The center electrode which is at high positive potential attracts the electrons and gives them energy to produce further ionization until the whole volume contains ion pairs.
- 10. The electrons are rapidly collected. The voltage on the center electrode drops and the slow positive ions go to the outer wall. After 400 sec (Dead time) the tube is ready to repeat the process.

- 12. Experiment: To determine the range of β-particle
- 13. 8. As with GM tube, working voltage is chosen so that saturation ionization current is achieved, for then the sensitivity is independent of applied voltage. 9. The graph gives the characteristics of ionization chamber. 10. Measure the distance d between source and gauze . 11. Record the ionization current I. 12. Plot a graph between distance d and ionization current. 13. Find range of beta particle from graph. Precautions: Distance between source and counter should remain fixed. Handle the radioactive source by lifting tool. All connections should be neat and tight to avoid spurious counts. After switching on the counter wait for 5 min for its warm up.
