Webcam Particle Detector

Post by lodovico » 24 May 2016, 17:36

Hello to everybody,
I did some tests using a webcam as particle detector, the results are quite good for beta rays (but not for alpha or gammas). The tests are described in the following posts :

Thank you

Nice project,

Would it be use full to put a little scintillation crystal on the CCD?

Cheers, Boris.
