A thought experiment based graphical illustration of the various sections of the characteristic curve of the gas-filled detectors

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to establish similarities between two ideas – a hypothetical thought experiment and a known fact. The study relies on the use of various functions to mathematically quantify the different components of the characteristic or voltage response curve and the operation of the gas-filled detectors. A thought experiment was created by taking into account an imagined particle to travel across space in specific ways. Here, a comparison was made between the characteristic curve and the imagined particle's locus.
