INFLUENCE OF THE HUMIDITY ON THE SPARK FORMATION IN ROSENBLUM COUNTERS

· Intern. J. Appl. Radiation and Isotopes
The effects of water vapor content of air on the efficiency of Rosenblum spark counters in air were studied using wirerod counters and alpha particles from Po/sup 210/. The experiments were carried out in saturated air at various temperatures up to 56.2 ts C, corresponding to a water saturation pressure of l25 mm Hg. The results, plotted as counts vs. water vapor pressure and counts vs. applied voltage, show that water vapor increases the efficiency for both broad-side and end-on irradiation, indicating a spark mechanism of the streamer type.
