OSTI ID:4114377
Four Geiger-Mueller counting tube designs filled with a gaseeus mixture containing at least 0.001 per cent halogen are described in which the space comprises two joined parts of different volume, the smaller pant containing the cathode and anode. In one design, the wall in the larger part is reflecting and of such a shape that a large proportion of the photous produced is concentrated on the other part, while in another design, electromagnetic means is provided in the larger part to concentrate electrons on the other part. A photosensitive layer may also be coated on the wall of the larger part. (D.L.C.)
