A Geiger-Mueller(GM) tube is a gas-filled radiation detector. It commonly takes the form of a cylindrical outer shell(cathode) and the sealed gas-filled space with a thin central wire(the anode) held at [approximately] 1 kV [kilovolt] positive voltage with respect to the cathode. The fill gas is generally argon at a pressure of less than 0. 1 atm [atmosphere] plus a small quantity of a quenching vapor … 1, record 2, English, - fill%20gas

[Détection et mesures des rayonnements nucléaires.] Gaz de remplissage : son choix est important puisque le développement de l’avalanche dépend largement de la dérive des électrons primaires. Toute trace d’oxygène doit être proscrite et on utilise le plus souvent un gaz rare (comme Ar [argon] ou Kr [krypton] ou Xe [xénon]) pour augmenter l’efficacité s’il s’agit de détecter des photons. Pour la détection des neutrons, on utilise d’autres gaz moins classiques. Ce gaz est souvent enfermé dans une enceinte scellée (emploi plus commode) ou peut être recyclé en permanence dans le compteur (dans la détection des particules chargées en particulier). 1, record 2, French, - gaz%20de%20remplissage

When an ionizing particle enters the device, it collides with gas atoms and strikes electrons from their orbit around the nucleus of the gas atoms. In addition, an ionizing particle striking the outside of the tube can also knock electrons off the metal casing. In either case, these free electrons then are attracted to the positively charged central wire, gaining energy by the attraction. As they approach the wire they knock electrons off other atoms, creating an avalanche or cascade effect which results in a pulse of current large enough to be detected. A "quenching gas" is usually added to the filler gas so that these avalanches will dissipate over time and not continue indefinitely, which would cause inaccuracy or electronic failure. 1, record 3, English, - quenching%20gas

The radiation is measured by measuring the number of pulses per time unit coming from the tube, which is proportional to the intensity of the radiation to be measured. The quenching gas in the radiation detector tubes is quenching after the elapse of a certain period of time the ionic current. This time is called the dead time of the G-M tube, during which the tube is unable to react to a possibly, arriving new quantum of radiation. 1, record 4, English, - quenching%20ggs

Gas quenching is a relatively new process with several important advantages, such as minimal environmental impact, clean products, and ability to control the cooling locally and temporally for best product properties. To meet the high cooling rates required for quenching, the cooling gas must flow at very high velocities, and such flows are highly turbulent and separated. 2, record 5, English, - gas%20quench
