Book ·
OSTI ID:6260588
This publication presents standard test procedures for Geiger-Muller counter radiation detectors. These detectors, originally announced by Geiger and Muller in 1928, represented a major step forward in the detection and counting of individual radioactive events. Standard test procedures are desirable so that measurements may have the same meaning to all manufacturers and users. This Standard is not intended to imply that all tests described herein are mandatory, but only that such tests as are carried out on Geiger-Muller counters should be performed in accordance with the procedures given herein.
