Le compteur Geiger-Müller [...] est une chambre d’ionisation de petit volume où la tension entre électrodes est de l’ordre de 300 à 1000 V. L’anode est constituée d’un fil électrique central au voisinage duquel le champ est intense. Dans ces conditions, un électron chassé par une particule ionisante initiale [...] ou par un photon [...], atteint une vitesse suffisante pour ioniser le gaz intérieur. Il en résulte une avalanche d’électrons sur toute la longueur du fil métallique rigide central qu’est l’anode, ce qui provoque une impulsion de tension déterminée, quelle que soit la nature du rayonnement incident. Un tube Geiger-Müller est autocoupeur parce qu’il contient généralement de l’alcool ou un halogène, substances qui ont la propriété d’interrompre l’avalanche d’électrons et de rendre à nouveau l’appareil disponible pour un nouveau comptage. 5, record 5, French, - compteur%20de%20Geiger%2DM%C3%BCller
