I work with tools that can produce low energy x-rays incidentally. I
am currently using an ion chamber to do my testing of these tools. I
was told that a GM would not be sensitive enough to pick up the low levels
that I would have. Can someone tell me what the guidelines are for determining
which instrument is preferred? I am dealing with beam currents generally
less than 200 KeV (if that helps any).
