The provided source offers a comprehensive overview of the Geiger counter, starting with its historical development and the fundamental principle of gas ionization detection. It details the anatomy of the Geiger-Müller tube, explaining the roles of its components, the critical gas mixture, and various tube geometries optimized for different radiation types like alpha, beta, gamma, X-rays, and neutrons. The text then clarifies the detection cascade, from the Townsend avalanche to the crucial quenching process, and the resulting dead time. Finally, the source assesses the limitations of Geiger counters, such as their "energy blindness" and energy dependence for dose measurement, while contrasting them with other radiation detection technologies like ionization chambers and scintillation detectors.
