New analytical & experimental method for determination the non-paralyzable dead time of self-quenching tube Geiger-Müller (GM) counter


Abstract in English

In this research, we derived a non–paralyzable dead time equation shows the relation between the dead time and those factors. This equation shows the dead time as function of the applied voltage, pressure, temperature, dimensions of counter tube and type of the gas.
