| Summary: | This paper discusses the process of functional aging of Geiger-Muller
counters. Two types of Geiger-Muller counter chambers were characterized in
an experiment using a combined constant voltage. Chamber A had a coaxial
geometry and chamber B had a plan-parallel geometry. The experimental results
indicate that the aging process was faster in the case of chambers with a
coaxial geometry. The results are explained based on the process of
electrical discharges in gasses. |
