Abstract

Many Geiger-Muller counters are constructed and filled with bromine and argon gas in the ratios 10:90, 20:80, 30:70 and 40:60 mm of Hg and with 100% bromine to pressures of 40.0 and 100.0 mm of Hg. The plateau length of these counters to gamma irradiation is between 50 and 130 V long and is ascribed to the formation of negative ions. The 100% bromine-filled counters offer the advantages of both detecting and quenching properties and show improved stability and reproducibility and long life.
