Do you really need a Geiger counter that can detect alpha radiation to detect alpha emitters? Not necessarily, since radioactive decays are way more complex than you might think.
In this video, I will take my first steps into the world of gamma spectrometry and show how some alpha and beta emitters can be identified by gamma and x-rays!
I will even attempt to identify what makes my radioactive mushrooms radioactive...
