摘要: A circuit is described for use with Geiger-counter spectrometers which employ a second Geiger counter to monitor the X-ray output. It allows neither record while either quenched, and thus ensures that ratio of counts recorded equal quanta received independent quench times, mean output waveform. The same principle should be applicable other methods monitoring. also suppresses background fraction cycle during self-rectified tube produces no characteristic radiation.
