Geiger mode

Geiger mode refers to a detection method used in Geiger-Müller tubes to identify ionizing radiation like radiation particles or gamma rays. When radiation enters the tube, it triggers a rapid electrical pulse by ionizing the gas inside. In Geiger mode, the device is set to produce a uniform, detectable pulse for each event, regardless of the Radiation’s energy level. This makes it excellent for counting the number of particles or rays but not for measuring their exact energy. It provides quick, reliable detection, ideal for radiation monitoring and safety applications.
