A quenching gas such as a halogen is used in a GM tube to damp or quench the electron cascade. Recall that the electron avalanche is initiated by incident radiation that the tube was designed to detect. At some point that electron avalanche needs to be damped to "reset" the tube so it can react to another incident. Quenching gas does this.

What is chemical quenching?
Color quenching is the attenuation of photons produced by a scintilator due to absorption and scattering. This effect, combined with the chemical quenching (attenuation of the transfer of energy from the solvent to the scintillator gives the total quenching effect of the scintillator/solvent mix.
How could end quenching change the hardness?
End quenching can change the hardness of metals by introducing different crystal structures. Steel is commonly quenched to introducing martensite, a very hard form of steel crystalline structure.
What rhymes with quench?
bench, clench, mensch, stench, wench, wrench
Why is steel better than bronze?
Because of carburization, quenching(heat treatment of steel) and tempering of quenched steel.
What gas do you use for gas cookers?
You use Natural gas for gas cookers
What is quenching in G M counter?
stopping the ionization cascade modern geiger-muller tubes use a halogen gas for quenching
What is quenching in Geiger muller tube?
A small amount of vapours of a substance having low ionization potential, called as quenching gas, eg alcohol vapours, is added to gm tube, which discharges at cathode before the principle gas +ve ions which discharges at cathode in about 10^-4 seconds. So the quenching gas neutralizes itself and also the tube....
How do you spell quenching?
That is the correct spelling of "quenching" (eliminating, extinguishing).
What is 'Quenching?
Color quenching is the attenuation of photons produced by a scintilator due to absorption and scattering. This effect, combined with the chemical quenching (attenuation of the transfer of energy from the solvent to the scintillator gives the total quenching effect of the scintillator/solvent mix.
Why does quenching in oil produce different results than quenching in water?
The fluid for quenching is specific for each type of steel; choosing an inappropriate fluid lead to bad results.

What is pineapple good for?
Quenching your thirst ;)
Why it is necessary to temper hardened steel immediately after quenching?
to avoid the high internal stresses caused by quenching and to get tempered Martensite that is less brittle
What are Q words that describe summer?
quenching quiet
What heat treatment produces the hardest steel?
quenching
Why isothermal titration calorimetry is is done with fluorescence quenching to study protein- small molecular inhibitor interaction?
quenching means (the act of extinguishing; causing to stop burning) "the extinction of the lights"
What is flashing and quenching potential for neon lamp?
the potential at which neon bub just start glow is called flashing potential.and quenching potential is a potential at which neon bulb stop to conduct..
