Geiger‐Mueller: G > 108
Proportional: G ~ 104 ‐ 105
For proportional counter: measure charge position along the central wire to get the chargethe central wire to get the charge position.

GLAST (Fermi) DetectorsGLAST Burst MonitorLarge Area Telescope
(20% sky coverage)
Twelve NaI low‐energy (8 keV – 1 MeV) X‐/gamma‐ray detectors facing in different directions locate source within a few degrees. Two BiGeO calorimeters
• Anticoincidence detector triggers on charged particles (so, not gamma‐rays)•W sheets convert gammas to e+/‐ pairs• Silicon strip detectors track particles
do much the same for high‐energy (150 keV – 30 MeV) gamma rays.
• Calorimeter measures particle energies
First Fermi all‐sky gamma ray map
