Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GnuRadio in particle accelerators

Hi Mark and Aylons, I've also wondered whether a cheap RTL-SDR could be used with GnuRadio as a multichannel analyzer for a homemade Gamma Spectrometer, either using a Geiger tube or a scintillator. I think the tuner would need to be bypassed so that the sampler can get direct samples. There's i

I thought about other options for signal analysis (KST for example). My initial idea was in absence of a scintillation counter system to use a (simple) PIN diode like the widely used BPW34 photodiode as detector. There is some material about this on the web. Then put some amplifier behind it and do

Not exactly the same thing, but I recall a physicist presented a paper at the first GnuRadio Conference in 2011 on using GR for quantum communication. See http://gnuradio.squarespace.com/grc2011-abstracts#wednesday_1530_1600 Very Respectfully, Dan CaJacob On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 12:36 PM, M Da

Hi Aylons, I have no answer here. But talking about Gnuradio and nuclear physics I want to add my idea to your question: Would it be possible to use Gnuradio in a (home made) Gamma Spectrometer ? These spectrometers usually work with a multichannel analyzer that measures the pulse height coming fro
