ABSTRACT:
A method of stabilizing operation of a hybrid spark chamber is disclosed. The method is applied to a self-triggering hybrid spark chamber of the gas-flow type including a spark chamber portion and a proportional chamber portion, and utilizes a high speed discharge circuit for the proportional chamber portion, the high speed discharge circuit being so constructed that upon generation of a precedent spark in the spark chamber portion by electrons produced by radiation and multipled in the proportional chamber portion the discharge circuit is simultaneously operated in response to the spark so as to rapidly lower an electric field intensity of the proportional chamber portion, thereby preventing the generation in the proportional chamber of any induced spark.
