'''Radiation detectors''' provide a signal that is converted to an electric current. The device is designed so that the current provided is proportional to the characteristics of the incident radiation.

"A '''neutrino detector''' is ... designed to study [[w:neutrino|neutrino]]s. Because neutrinos are only [[w:Weak interaction|weakly interacting]] with other particles of matter, neutrino detectors must be very large in order to detect a significant number of neutrinos. Neutrino detectors are often built underground to isolate the detector from [[w:cosmic ray|cosmic ray]]s and other background radiation.<ref name=twsP14>{{ cite web
