Geiger-Müller tube

A common usage of these connectors is for Geiger-Müller tube detectors.

At the center of the cone was a voltage supply tube and two Geiger-Müller tubes.

It carried a micrometeorite gauge and a Geiger-Müller tube.

It is therefore used as a window on radiation detectors such as Geiger-Müller tubes.

The article on the Geiger-Müller tube has a more detailed description of the fundamental ionization mechanism.

Geiger-Müller tubes are the primary components of Geiger counters.

Tiny pulses of current are used to detect ionizing radiation in a Geiger-Müller tube.

When added to inert gases, they quench the discharge; this is exploited in e.g. Geiger-Müller tubes.

The electronics also generates the high voltage, typically 400-600 volts, that has to be applied to the Geiger-Müller tube to enable its operation.

The two Geiger-Müller tubes and the caesium iodide crystal detectors continued to operate normally until September 19, 1958.

Van Allen's instruments included a Geiger-Müller tube, which provided data and information that regions of intense radiation surround the Earth.

All instruments operated successfully with the exception of a part of the ionization chamber, namely the Geiger-Müller tube, which failed in February 1965.

Such a tube can also be used for detection of ionizing radiation as an alternative to the Geiger-Müller tube (itself not an actual vacuum tube).

These Geiger-Müller tubes (GM tubes or counters) made possible Bothe's investigations.

Additionally, the Geiger-Müller tube cannot operate above about 10 counts per second, due to dead time effects, whereas there is no similar limitation on the ion chamber.

The Geiger-Müller tube is filled with an inert gas such as helium, neon, or argon at low pressure, to which a high voltage is applied.

Gamma and X-Ray detectors generally use an "integral" design so the Geiger-Müller tube is conveniently within the electronics enclosure.

A Geiger counter consists of a Geiger-Müller tube, the sensing element which detects the radiation, and the processing electronics, which displays the result.

Penning mixtures are used where lower ionization voltage is required, e.g. in the neon lamps, Geiger-Müller tubes and other gas-filled particle detectors.

This is in distinction to the Geiger-Müller tube or the proportional counter whereby secondary electrons, and ultimately multiple avalanches, greatly amplify the original ion-current charge.

It carried a payload similar to Pioneer 3: a lunar radiation environment experiment using a Geiger-Müller tube detector and a lunar photography experiment.

The payload consisted of a cosmic ray counter (a Geiger-Müller tube), and a micrometeorite detector (a wire grid array and acoustic detector).

Typically, an I gas filled Geiger-Müller tube with an entrance window of either SrF or CaF is used as the photon detector.

A Neher-type integrating ionization chamber and an Anton 302 Geiger-Müller tube (which functioned as a cosmic ray detector) to measure cosmic radiation.

The Geiger-Müller tube or G-M tube is the sensing element of the Geiger counter instrument used for the detection of ionizing radiation.
