ON THE PROBLEM OF THE LIFETIME OF GEIGER-MULLER COUNTERS (in Czech)

OSTI ID:4105221
A description is given of a quenching circuit, and the manner in which the lifetime of Geiger-Mueller (GM) counters can be prolonged is discussed. Such quenching circuits were used in apparatus for measuring the variations in cosmic- ray intensity so that the number of exchanges of counters was lowered and the course of the changes in their properties was reduced, thus permitting the required measuring stability to be attained. Such circuits are of considerable economic importance because, in long-term operation, they decrease the number of G-M counters used at least ten times. The price of the necessary valves represents about 6% of the price of the counters. (auth)
