QUENCHING MEANS AND TECHNIQUES FOR IONIZATION DEVICES
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4793293
A quenching circuit is described for controlling an ionization device of the pulse discharge type and particularly a Geiger-Mueller tube used in well logging. The circuit shortens the recovery time thereby allowing higher counting rates. The circuit uses a high voltage, low current-type power supply; low voltage transistors and vacuum tubes; and a transformer having three windings. The quench action is obtained by injecting a voltage across a series impedance of reverse polarity derived from a second supply. (N.W.R.)
