We continue talking about radiation detectors and in this case we want to explain what the Geiger Muller counter is, the most popular tool for detecting radioactivity. If you want to know what it is and what kind of detector it…
Radiation detectors: plastic scintillators
In previous articles, we have already discussed what types of radiation detectors exist and how they work. In this case, we would like to take a closer look at one type of detectors: scintillation detectors and in particular plastic scintillators. How…
Types of Radiation Emergencies
Do you know what a radiation emergency is and what a nuclear emergency is? In this article we tell you what the differences are between them, and what is the protocol for action in Spain. Nuclear emergency and radiation emergency In…
What is a spectrometer?
A spectrometer is a device that analyzes the spectrum of a radiation. Specifically, in physics, «spectrum» refers to the way in which the intensity of a radiation is displayed. Therefore, if we combine «spectrum» with «meter», which refers to measurement, we…
What are the types of radiation detectors?
The human being is not able to detect the presence of an ionizing radiation field. Because of this deficiency, it has been necessary to resort to devices that are capable of detecting the presence of ionizing radiation and, therefore, provide adequate…
What is dosimetry and how is it measured?
If you work in the industrial sector or in facilities where radiation may be produced or present, you probably know or have heard about dosimetry. At Helgeson, we are experts in the design and manufacture of radiation detectors, and one of…
What is a radiation portal monitor?
Do you want to know what a radiation portal monitor is? Depending on the type of radiation there are different detection methods as well as suitable detectors. In this article we are going to explain what radiation portal monitors are and…
What are Norm residues?
Do you want to understand what a Norm residue is, how it is produced and how it should be managed? Well, in this article we want to answer all these common questions about Norm residues. Do not hesitate and continue reading…
