Preferred Label : Geiger counter;
IUPAC definition : A gas-filled X-ray detector in which gas amplification reaches saturation and proportionality
no longer exists. The output signal does not depend on the incident energy. The time
taken for the counter to recover from the saturation is called dead time.;
