    Abstract: An ion chamber exhibiting a flat response to a wide range of incident gamma energy is provided by a high-pressure fill gas mixture of a first major constituent, low atomic number gas which exhibits a reduced gamma response at low gamma energy levels, and a second minor constituent, high atomic number gas which exhibits an increased gamma response at low gamma energy levels. The preferred fill gas mixture is nitrogen as the major constituent and xenon as the minor constituent.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a dead time compensation circuit for a radiation detector using a Geiger-Muller tube. The Geiger-Muller tube is the most commonly used detector for measuring gamma radiation. However, they have a restricted linear range which makes it difficult to use them with digital numeric displays. The highest dose rate that can be measured is limited by the tube dead time, i.e. the interval after the initiation of a pulse during which a subsequent ionizing event does not produce a pulse. The present invention adds one or more pulses to the display counter when the Geiger-Muller tube provides two or more pulses in a given time interval (t). The dose rate or count rate is sampled at the beginning of each counting period (T) and the interval t is made proportional to the count rate. At low count rates, where dead time losses are negligible, no pulses are added. At high count rates, where t can be several times the tube dead time, counting losses of 50% can be compensated.

    Abstract: A highly sensitive Geiger-Mueller radiation detector with improved temperature stability and working life uses a cathode liner made of tungsten. The liner is resistant to attack by the halogen quench gases which are used in the detector. The method of conditioning the tube for use is much simpler and less expensive than it is for existing tubes.
