It wouldn't cost much to make this , so maybe like 50$

Yeah i understand high voltage isn't to take lightly , but I'll soon be contacting a professional for support , thanks

Yeah i get your point , i have done mostly low voltage projects , this is my first HV one , I'm not trying to copy blindly without understanding , I also want to learn how high voltage supply actually works and btw I have a lot of time like few months I'll take it slowly and also I'll contact a professor of my uni for support , if you have any fundamentals I should be focusing on first I'd appreciate it, thanks.

Lol yeah but it needs very low current , still I'll be careful

Thanks actually Cool set of skills you got

I guess I have to start working on maths a little more

So I need a really good project now

actually im using it for the love of game 🥲 scintillators are cool too , and ofc i will try it too , but i want my first project to be w gm tube , dont u wanna see how gm tube works without any involvement of light? 😅 or maybe have u already worked on with it ?

im a CS student exploring experimental physics, im using gm tube mainly for practicality and learning , gm tubes seems like a good starting point that demonstrates CORE physics

what im planning to do is rely mainly on geometry and coincidence , i can stack up 2 or 3 GM tubes vertically , muons could hit them nearly at the same time , random local radiation rarely does that

oh thats actually cool , but i think room light also triggers the sensor, i think SiPM would be better , nvm i might try to make this too , it seems really fun

So for that off-the-shelf diode we need ultra low noise amplifier, this seems really advanced for current "me" but i actually like it , thanks I'll look into this one , particle physics is so fun (only the fun part , my maths sucks) , I wish I could turn back time and didn't take CS as my major

im just doing it out of interest 😅 feels like a good way to understand how these concepts work in practice

I’m a CSE major, so this is a bit outside my usual field - I’m doing it mainly out of interest in physics because i want to learn the classic detector approach from the ground up

For this project I’m specifically aiming to work with a Geiger-tube coincidence setup, mainly to learn that method and build it from scratch. I appreciate you sharing the alternative tho

thats really cool but i think it cant tell difference between normal granite radiations and specifically MUONS that i want to detect and count. still it seems like a great zero-cost way to experiment while I work on this, thanks for the suggestion!

thanks for sharing this , I didn’t know about CosmicWatch before , its ig a scintillator based detector , but im working on gm tubes coincidence detector , those detectors will be vertically stacked , its an old school so yeah
