1. Gas detectors
1.1 Introduction
Gas detectors can be classified into three main families according to the value of their internal gain G :
the ionization chamber (IC; G = 1);
the proportional counter (CP; G " 10 2 to 10 5 ) ;
Geiger-Müller counter (GM; G " 10 6 to 10 8 ).
Figure 1 shows the evolution of signal amplitude...
