Abstract
With sufficient amplification of the pulses from a G‐M counter, it was observed that the deadtime decreased as the counting rate increased. The maximum counting rate of a tube could be advanced to 100,000 counts per second although its apparent resolving power at low rates did not exceed 10,000 per second. Above 10,000 counts per second the resolving power increased almost in proportion to the counting rate.Keywords
