Half-Life Lab — Identify V, W, X, Y, Z

Measure anywhere → use lead tiles to reduce dose → place labels → submit all labels. Clear per-source feedback.

How to complete the task

  • Measure anywhere: press E / Sample. Each 5-s reading is pinned on the map at the spot you took it (with overlap-avoidance).
  • Use lead tiles to reduce dose while you do the maths. Not all categories appear each run.
  • When near a source, choose V/W/X/Y/Z and Place Label. Repeat for all sources.
  • Press Submit Labels: correct labels are secured. If any label is wrong, you get a penalty and we show which ones need work and why.
Game half-lives: V ≈ 60 s W ≈ 240 s X ≈ 120 s Y ≈ 360 s Z ≈ 720 s

  • Exponential decay \(N=N_0 2^{-t/T_{1/2}}\) and counting statistics.
  • Inverse-square law; background; shielding (lead floor tiles).
  • Practical: isolate a source for a clean half-life estimate.
