Counter (English)

Japanese: カウンター(英語表記)counter
Counter (English)
A radiation detector that counts individual particles of radiation. There are counters that use the ionization phenomenon of gases (Geiger-Muller counters, proportional counters, ionization chambers), solid-state detectors that use the ionization phenomenon in solids (semiconductor detectors), and detectors that use luminescence (scintillation counters, Cherenkov counters). All but the Geiger-Muller counter can measure the energy of radiation. The term is usually used to refer to the Geiger-Muller counter.
