A Geiger counter, also known as a Geiger-Müller counter, is a type of particle detector used to detect ionizing radiation. It is typically used to detect alpha particles and beta particles, and some models of Geiger counters can also detect gamma rays and X-rays.

The Geiger counter is designed based on the ionizing properties of radiation on gases. Its detector, commonly referred to as a "Geiger tube," typically consists of a sealed metal tube filled with a thin gas (often a rarefied gas such as helium, neon, or argon) at both ends insulated by non-conductive materials. A metal wire electrode is installed along the axis of the tube, and a voltage slightly lower than the breakdown voltage of the gas inside the tube is applied between the metal tube wall and the metal wire electrode. Under normal conditions, there is no discharge within the tube; however, when a high-speed particle enters the tube, the energy of the particle ionizes the gas, causing a rapid discharge between the wire and the tube wall, thereby generating a pulsed current signal.
A particle detector used for detecting ionizing radiation, typically for alpha particles and beta particles, with some models of Geiger counters also capable of detecting gamma rays and X-rays.
