GM TUBES

[panzarin@HOMER.YANKEE.COM (panzarin@yankee.com)]

Dave,

One source information is Volume 3 of Attix, Roesch and Tochlin published by 
Academic press. Page 280 of the volume presents a figure which shows counts 
per minute per mR per hour for two types of GM tubes as a function of 
energy. The figure is apparently based on work done by Auxier (Health 
Physics annual progress report,ORNL 3347, pp 85-87,1962).

It is not unusual for information such as this to be given on "generic GM 
tubes" See for example, figure 11 of IAEA technical report 152 (Evaluation 
of Radiation Emergencies and Accidents-Selected Criteria and Data). This 
figure shows the relative responses of "glass wall" and "aluminum wall" GM 
tubes with no further identification of the tubes provided. 

I don't think these are the references you saw. However, if I can be of 
further assistance, please don't hesitate to call. I would be happy to fax 
my information to you.
