Additionally, the GeigerMller tube cannot operate above about 104 counts per second, due to dead-time effects, whereas there is no similar limitation on the ion chamber. It has a good uniform response to radiation over a wide range of energies and is the preferred means of measuring high levels of gamma radiation, such as in a radiation hot cell as they can tolerate prolonged periods in high radiation fields without degradation. The steady-state thermal response was dependent upon the water temperature and wall and electrode compositions. A voltage potential is applied between the electrodes to create an electric field in the fill gas. The condenser chamber has a secondary cavity within the stem which acts as a capacitor.
