Hello from Bern, Switzerland

Post by giank » 26 Apr 2025, 19:19

hello everyone
my name is Gian and i am based in Switzerland
i have always been curious about nuclear energy, radiation, radioactive elements and the physics behind all this
my daily job is software engineer (even though i am not actively coding since long time, except a recent ansible adventure i honestly didnt enjoy)
my hobbies include electronic projects, MC programming, collecting radioactive items and i have in the years built several GM counters i use to locate radioactive stuff

i recently acquired the prorotype of gamma spectrometer for tinkering and testing, and of course i started collecting gamma spectra from the various radioactive items i have

so i fully qualify as total beginner in this field and i hope to learn a lot here

Welcome Gian! This is a good site to visit, with lots of experienced users and some professionals as well. If you're already collecting spectra that's great--you're not really tinkering (you're "perfecting") if you have spectra :) Prowl around here and you'll find good references for detecting and interpreting anything you can measure.

Gian,

Welcome to the forum. Basel is a beautiful place, I was there recently. Leave all the worlds macro problems to others and focus on understanding the fundamental particles, only by understanding the foundations of physics can you begin to understand the rest.
