Which detector did you use?

Background

Note down the values from the background counting you started the day before.
Counting number Nbck=              counts
Counting time tbck=              sec
Counting speed [math]\frac{N_{bck}}{t_{bck}}[/math] =                cps
Standard deviation [math]\frac{\sqrt{N_{bck}}}{t_{bck}}[/math]=                       cps

Counting Efficiency

Do a one minute count on every shelf. Use these measurements to calculate the counting-efficiency of the GM-detector in %, for 234mPa. The activity of the sample can be calculated from the amount of UO3 used.

Twenty Measurements with Constant Distance from the Source

Do twenty measurements on 1 minute with the source in the same position. Calculate the standard deviation and complete the table:
