does anyone know a circute that would get this tube working

[byron addams]

i have been looking at diferent circute diagrams for geting neutron detectors to work but i dont reely know much aboutb them. i know that thiss tube runs at 500v dc but thats about it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402265747916

Your question is far too general which indicates your electronics knowledge might be very limited. If so, circuit diagrams are the last thing you need. You need to read the FAQ section on neutron detectors and get up to speed on basic concepts. Then you can determine what black boxes you'll need and what you might be able to build to run a given neutron detector tube or just a complete turn key system unless you are very well versed in electronics. Also, double check your typing for errors would be a good practice - I often make typo's but try to catch them by proof reading.

I also wouldn't recommend getting these tubes, especially for a first attempt at fusion. While I've found that they produce very large pulses, they are not very sensitive to put it mildly. On my fusor operating ~2e6n/s, I get maybe a couple dozen CPM with the tube encased in wax and pressed directly against my small chamber.

i do have a good undrestanding of electronics i was more just asking what the best way to go at the problem is becauls i dont know much about neutron detetors.

Take Liam's advice. The tube is not a great tube for low level detections. Its small volume limits it to only strong sources.

yea I was having a look and it seems like this tube is a way better option. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113695765135
