Ionising radiation detectors

Ionizing radiation detectors are devices designed to measure and detect ionizing radiation, which includes particles and high-energy electromagnetic waves that have enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, thereby ionizing them. Ionizing radiation includes alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and X-rays. The working principle of these detectors typically involves the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter, which generates ion pairs (electron and positive ion) in a sensing medium.
