| Summary: | In this paper we analyze application of contemporary methods of insulation
co-ordination and the enlargement law in designing a GM counting tube. It has
been shown that by applying insulation co-ordination methods the counting
tube can be optimally dimensioned. The application of the enlargement law was
demonstrated in generalizing the results of test obtained by the GM tube to
those obtained by the counting tube with m-times greater dimensions. The
investigations were conducted both theoretically and by experiment. Using
theoretical analysis, we derived the expressions that may be applied if a
performance function of a random variable breakdown voltage is known. The
experiments were conducted on a GM counter model under well controlled
laboratory conditions. |
