OSTI ID:4275251

A halogen-quenched Geiger-Mueller tube design is offered which is sensitive in a high range and a low range and also has a variable sensitivity ratio for beta and gamma radiation. Six tube configurations are described in which either the central anode or the outer cathode is conical or so shaped that the space between anode and cathode is varied. This variation permits operation as two counters without the disadvantages commonly incurred in parallel counter operation. (T.R.H.)
