It should be noted that the specific chip used depends on the design and manufacturer of the nuclear radiation detector. Different manufacturers may adopt different chip combinations and technologies to meet their own design requirements and performance requirements. For specific nuclear radiation detection instruments, it is recommended to consult the technical specifications of the relevant equipment or contact the manufacturer for accurate chip information.

The chip commonly used for nuclear radiation detectors is the GM (Geiger-Muller) tube chip. The chip is a gas discharge tube that detects alpha, beta and gamma rays emitted by radioactive materials. When rays pass through the GM tube, ionization occurs, causing the gas in the tube to conduct electricity. The GM tube chip can detect the intensity and type of rays by measuring the strength of the conductive signal. The advantages of GM tube chips are high sensitivity, fast response, simple structure, and easy manufacturing and maintenance. Therefore, in the field of nuclear radiation detection, GM tube chip is a commonly used detection element.
Nuclear radiation detectors typically use chips such as laser sensors, photodiodes, photomultiplier tubes, ionization chambers, and Geiger-Muller (GM) counters to detect and measure radiation levels.
Among them, the Geiger-Muller counter tube is the most commonly used nuclear radiation detection chip, which can measure the number and energy of radioactive particles and generate corresponding electrical signals.
