proportional counter tube
A proportional counter tube is a type of gaseous ionization detector used in nuclear physics and radiation protection to measure and detect radiation. It operates on the principle that the electrical pulse produced by an ionizing event (such as the passage of a charged particle) will be proportional to the energy of that event. This allows it to differentiate between types of radiation, such as alpha particles, beta particles or gamma rays, based on the different amounts of ionization they produce in the detecting gas. These tubes consist of a gas-filled chamber with electrodes, connected to a voltage supply and a counting device.
