In this apparatus, an enclosure is filled with a low pressure gaseous mixture, and a set of electrodes at different electrical potentials.
In this apparatus, an enclosure is filled with a low pressure gaseous mixture, and a set of electrodes at different electrical potentials. When a particle or radiation enters the chamber, the gaseous sample is ionized, creating a pathway for electrical current. This current is then amplified and measured, proving the entrance of radiation. FTP, name this type of device, of which the Geiger-Muller counter is a specific example.
