Title: EFFECT OF THERMIONIC EMISSION AT ROOM TEMPERATURES IN PHOTOSENSITIVE GEIGERMULLER TUBES

Journal Article · · Bull. acad. polon. sci. Classe
OSTI ID:4299169

The temperature-dependence of the background of Geiger-Mueller counting tubes was compared for nonsensitized and sensitized (treated by electric discharge) tubes. A strong increase of background with increasing temperature was observed for phatosensitive counters, while no change was observed in nonsensetized counters. It is shown that the increase is due to thermionic emission of the brass cathode. (T.R.H.)
