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 GM 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). All testing has been completed during this reporting period. The tests prove the units to be completely stable and meet all the requirements of the specification.
