Hearing Radiation

Thanks for posting this latest about PRA Steven. I'll download and try out Marek's new handiwork.

This new audio feature in PRA is going to prove very useful for neutron counting in the lab. When we are running our fusors we are often too busy adjusting the vacuum valves and the voltage, to look at the rate meter. Just imagine being able to hear the ping of a neutrons, not just a click, but a high frequency sound that gives you confidence that it is indeed a neutron.

I hooked up my Victoreen B10 tube straight to a GS-1100A at 1000V with no other electronics, and set the discriminator level in PRA above the gamma background, and I could hear a background neutron ping in my detector about once a minute.

As always with Marek's software, the programs are small, the functions are simple and they work.
