Re: [Phys-l] [tap-l] "Dehatting" TO-3 bipolars to "create" photosensors



Great idea!

bc wishes he had the time to do some dehatting and would very much appreciate viewing that movie.

p.s. Was it just a detector or was the output a function of the alpha's energy?

Hi tappers,
any idea if this might also be an alpha particle detector? PSSC produced a movie years ago using a transistor as an alpha ray detector when modernizing the Rutherford gold scattering experiment.
