Overview

The Emulated Radiation Experiment is based on the physical principle and the real measurement data, and uses the electronic signal transmission communication technology to highly simulate the effect of the nuclear radiation phenomenon. This device allows students to perform the same nuclear radiation experiment as reality without using a real source of radiation.

Feature

Without the use of radioactive sources, the emulated nuclear radiation experiments can be performed to meet the results of all nuclear radiation phenomena.

It will not be harmed or psychologically threatened by any nuclear radiation. There is no need to worry about the safety of using radioactive sources, and the administrative or technical procedures for handling radioactive sources are eliminated.

This machine is suitable for the needs of teaching nuclear radiation physics at all levels of university, middle and primary schools. It can also be used for nuclear technology and related radiology majors students for simulation training to eliminate the radiation that students receive .

The simulation detector has an sound effect, mimicking the function of the Geiger Maitreya counter.

Simulated background radiation can be modified according to local conditions.

The nuclear radiation characteristics of the imitation radioactive source can be customized as needed.

The equipment has a transparent front cover for easy observation.

It can use the Android device to do the experiment remotely.

Data can be collected by manual method, SD card or wireless Android device.

Experiments and data

1.Background radiation

Simulate the detection of background radiation. For example, in Hong Kong, the background radiation is 1-2 times per second.

2.Inverse Square law

The intensity of the radiation is linearly attenuated as a function of the square value of the distance between the source and the detector. Using the measured data, the inverse square characteristic of nuclear radiation is demonstrated in an appropriate chart analysis.

3. Isotope half-life

The radiation intensity of the source decays exponentially with time. In the measured data chart analysis, the half-life of the source is 182.4 s.

4. Exponential absorption of radiation intensity in matter

The radiation intensity decays exponentially with the distance traveled in the material, and the measured data yields a linear absorption = 8.4 cm^-1 in an appropriate graph analysis.

5. Randomness of nuclear radiation

The measured data demonstrates the statistical distribution of the random fluctuations in the count rate.

6. Identification of α，β and γ

It is equipped with uncalibrated imitated radiation source. Students can try to distinguish the imitated radiation source from the emitted, particle or radiation source according to the counting rate and the measured routing data after using different absorbing material and thickness.
