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....
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.
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.
That is the correct spelling of "quenching" (eliminating, extinguishing).
YES that is a must.

The fluid for quenching is specific for each type of steel; choosing an inappropriate fluid lead to bad results.
Quenching your thirst ;)
stopping the ionization cascade modern geiger-muller tubes use a halogen gas for quenching
to avoid the high internal stresses caused by quenching and to get tempered Martensite that is less brittle
Dead time is when pulses are not possible to occur. Recovery time is when small pulses are possible to occur but are not counted. Together the make up the Resolving time for the GM tube which is kind of specific for each tube.
