Explanation Helium, neon or argon gas is filled in the Geiger-Muller tube at low pressure. High voltage is applied to this tube. When incident radiations particle or photon makes the gas conductive by ionization the tube briefly conducts electrical charge. By the Townsend discharge effect the ionization is amplified within the tube to produce detection pulse which is easily measured, this is sent to processing and display electronics. High voltage is generated by the electronics (400-900 volts)...
