I assume you are referring to Geiger Muller tubes.
In a basic Geiger Muller tube once ionization occurs the tube goes into avalanche conduction. To stop this conduction early Geiger Muller counters used a quench circuit that removed power from the tube long enough for the avalanche to quench, so another ionization event could be detected.
In a self quenching Geiger Muller tube a tiny amount of a quench gas is added to the tube's gas mixture. This quench gas quenches the avalanche conduction without needing to have the counter remove power from the tube. There are two types of quench gas: organic gases (e.g. alcohol, xylene) and halogen gases. Organic quench gases have the drawback that a tiny bit of them is consumed in each ionization event, giving the tube a limited life. Halogen quench gases are not consumed in use, so the tube life is not limited by them.

What is a titration-quenching?
Titration quenching is a process where a substance is added to a solution to stop a chemical reaction or change in pH during a titration experiment. This substance helps to stabilize the solution at the endpoint of the titration, ensuring accurate results.
What are the units of the quenching constant in the context of fluorescence quenching?
The units of the quenching constant in the context of fluorescence quenching are typically expressed as reciprocal concentration per unit time, such as M-1s-1.
How does the Stern-Volmer plot illustrate the phenomenon of quenching in fluorescence spectroscopy?
The Stern-Volmer plot shows how the fluorescence intensity of a substance decreases when it is exposed to a quenching agent. This illustrates the phenomenon of quenching in fluorescence spectroscopy, where the quencher molecule reduces the fluorescence emission of the sample by either absorbing the excitation energy or deactivating the excited state of the fluorophore.
What is a quenching gas?
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.
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 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.
What is a titration-quenching?
Titration quenching is a process where a substance is added to a solution to stop a chemical reaction or change in pH during a titration experiment. This substance helps to stabilize the solution at the endpoint of the titration, ensuring accurate results.
How do you spell quenching?
That is the correct spelling of "quenching" (eliminating, extinguishing).
What are the units of the quenching constant in the context of fluorescence quenching?
The units of the quenching constant in the context of fluorescence quenching are typically expressed as reciprocal concentration per unit time, such as M-1s-1.
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 ;)
What is quenching in G M counter?
stopping the ionization cascade modern geiger-muller tubes use a halogen gas for quenching
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
Purpose of the iron-carbon phase diagram?
to know what will be the crystal structure and physiacal and chemical properties of iron at known carbon percentage and temperature. provided that slow and uniform cooling rate is there and no quenching.
Quinching of n butyl litium?
Quenching of n-butyllithium involves adding a suitable quenching agent, such as alcohol or water, to stop the reactivity of the organolithium compound. The quenching reaction generates an alkane and the corresponding alcohol, effectively neutralizing the highly reactive n-butyllithium. Care should be taken during the quenching process to prevent any violent reactions or fires.
What is quenching potential?
Quenching potential refers to the ability of a material to resist cracking or failure when subjected to a sudden change in temperature, such as rapid cooling after being heated. Materials with a high quenching potential can withstand this thermal shock without developing defects or losing their mechanical properties. Improving a material's quenching potential is important in various industries to ensure product reliability and performance.
