Production Engineering Measure for High Range Geiger Mueller Tube.

Abstract

This program is an investigation of the proper techniques employed to provide stable, predictable performance G-M tubes for use as the high range detector of the AN/VDR-1. The techniques include special cathode and anode surface treatment to prevent secondary emissions and resultant spurious counts (instability). Four groups of Engineering test samples have been manufactured. Testing on the fourth group has been completed during this reporting period. From all indications the tests prove the units to be completely stable and meet all the requirements of the specification.
