Abstract

Through the interaction of radioactive radiations with matter, atoms or molecules become ionized or at least excited. The operating principle of almost all radiation detectors is based on the detection of free electrons and ions (ionization chamber, proportional and GM tubes, spark chamber semiconductor detector) or on the detection of light photons emitted by the excited atoms and molecules (scintillation counter). Čerenkov counters, based on the detection of Cerenkov radiation of particles faster than light in a radiator with an index of refraction n> 1, represent an important exception.
