hi i am an a level physics student currently planning a practical experiment to measure the thickness of aluminium sheets. can somebody please give me a name of a specific beta receiver model to use in my coursework. you would be helping a lot thanks.

Why don't you try a one by yourself?

 

An adequate weak light in the background and a perfect camera will allow you to detect the electrons (Betas). This is useful for spread penetration. Whereas for angle-incident ones, you just need to know the intensity; a metal and Ammeter in the way will detect the current (Intensity).

 

Many Thanks for the feedback if available.

 

Thanks.
