* The main thing we are lacking is a multichannel analyser, this is an apparatus that digitizes pulses generated by a detector and presents them as a histogram of pulse height (and therefore radiation energy) against number of pulses received thus generating a spectra of the energy of radiation incident upon the detector. | * The main thing we are lacking is a multichannel analyser, this is an apparatus that digitizes pulses generated by a detector and presents them as a histogram of pulse height (and therefore radiation energy) against number of pulses received thus generating a spectra of the energy of radiation incident upon the detector. | ||

* Lead! lots of lead. Background radiation is everywhere and really gets in the way when trying to get a spectra for low activity items, Lead several inches of lead shielding around the detector and item under study prevents this. | |||
