a radiation detection and measuring instrument consisting of a gas-filled tube containing electrodes, between which an electrical voltage but no current flows. When ionizing radiation passes through the tube, a short, intense pulse of current passes from the negative electrode to the positive electrode and is measured or counted. The number of pul...

A Geiger Counter (G-M Counter) is a type of detector used to measure levels of Radiation or Contamination . The counter is relatively simple to make and is quite robust so it is used regularly in the field to take quick measurements. Due to its mode of operation, the output of the Geiger Tube is independent of the incident energy or the incoming I....

A Geiger counter is any of a number of devices named after Hans Geiger, and used for detecting nuclear radiation and/or measuring its intensity by counting the number of ionising particles produced. It detects the momentary current that passes between electrodes in a suitable gas when a nuclear particle or a radiation pulse causes the ionisation of...

A radiation detector consisting of two electrodes with a low-pressure gas in between. A voltage is maintains such that if radiation passing through the counter ionizes the gas, an avalanche of electrons will occur. Geiger counters can count radiation but cannot distinguish either the energy or kind of radiation.
