A GM counter has an anode that is held at a positive high voltage potential. This is so it can attract electrons released by ionization events in the shell. When an event occurs, electrons are transferred to the anode, temporarily reducing its voltage, hence the negative going pulse.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between dead time and recovery time of gm counter?
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.
What is countering?
A counter is a sequencial circuit with a set of flip flop which counts the number of pulses given at the clock input A counter is a sequencial circuit with a set of flip flop which counts the number of pulses given at the clock input
What can be done to counter negative forces?
Positive forces can counter negative forces.

To counter negative stereotypes
If a counter having 10 FLIPFLOPS is intially at 0 what count will it hold after 2060 pulses?
12
What is the World of Warcraft GM password?
There is no "GM password" World of Warcraft is not like counter strike where you have a rcon password.
Which type of electron emmission exists in GM Counter?
Secondary emmission
Why when you put your indicators on your subaru sport rev counter pulses in time with indicator?
hi did you find out wat was wrong?
India's Inflation rate is negative but prices of pulses are skyrocketing then how it is possible because WPI are counted on the base pirce of pulses aslo?
They would be cancelled out by other factors in the economy
What is the mode of operation of IC555 timer in Automatic street light controller?
it is astable operation to produce clock pulses for the counter
Why gm counter is a counter not a detector?
A GM counter is a counter, and not a detector, because it counts ionizing events, rather than quantifying the amount and energy of those events. It has to do with avalanche mode (GM counter) versus linear or proportional mode (ionization detector). The electric potential (higher than that in an ionization detector) between the anode and cathode of the GM counter is such that any ionizing event causes an avalanche of electrons that are counted as one pulse. Since the avalanche occured, the pulse represents only the event, and not its energy. In a linear or proportional detector (counter), however, avalanche does not occur, so the pulse represents the event, and the pulse's energy is proportional to the energy of the event. In effect, the average current through the ionization detector is proportional to the radiation field strength, in units that are meaningful in terms of dose rate. This makes the ionization detector more useful when measuring the relative radiation field, while the higher gain of the GM counter is more useful when simply detecting the presence of radioactivity. The ionization detector is less sensitive than the GM counter, but it is more qualitative.
What is the result of pairing one positive counter with one negative counter?
zero.
