Abstract
LOW-VOLTAGE halogen-quenched Geiger–Müller counters find increasing applications in many fields, especially for use in portable survey and assay instruments1. Their chief advantages are: (i) very low temperature coefficient down to – 50° C.; (ii) very long counting life; (iii) extreme electrical robustness; (iv) simple battery requirements; (v) large output pulse necessitating no pre-amplification.
