In a semiconductor counter the incident radiation produces electrons and holes and information about the radiation is obtained by collecting them. One major difference of course is that only 3.5 eV has to

These discus­ sions are directed to detector users, usually scientists and technicians in different fields such as chemistry, geology, bio

Semiconductor Detectors, be expended to produce an electron-hole pair in a semiconductor, while the value is ≈30 eV in an ionization chamber. The lower energy increases the number of electron-hole pairs per MeV of radiation and decreases the relative statistical variation in this number. Hence the energy resolution is increased, that is, R is decreased.

Gas Counters,er was similar in construction to that of Fig. 3.1. It had an outer cylindrical electrode and an inner wire electrode with a potential difference applied between them. Geiger found that, when a radiation was stopped in the counter, a current flowed through the electrodes which was detectable with an electrometer of “moderate sensibility.”

Scintillation Counters,n 1944, Curran and Baker replaced the use of the naked eye by a photomultiplier and later Kallmann replaced the small, thin crystals of ZnS by naphthalene. These two changes revolutionized scintillation detection, making it possible to detect, record, and analyze electronically the pulses produced by individual radiations.
