Abstract

1,179,407. Geiger-Mucller counters. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. Feb.21, 1967 [Feb. 28, 1966], No. 8767/66. Heading G1A. In a Geiger-Mueller counter having a straight wire anode within a cylindrical cathode where the position along the lengths of the counter of an ionization due to impinging radiation is determined by determining the relative proportion of charge collected on the anode which flow to the two ends of the anode as described in Specification 1,179, 406, the present invention provides glass beads spaced along the wire anode to prevent the discharge resulting from the ionizing event from spreading along the anode. The relative proportions of charge are determined by measuring the charge flowing to each end of the anode or alternatively to one end only and measuring the charge collected by the cathode.
