Geiger Muller Counters, or GM Counters, are used to measure nuclear particle. A Geiger Muller Counter works on the principle that in the presence of a strong potential difference, a nuclear particle which causes ionization in gaseous molecules can lead to an avalanche of secondary ionizations that results in a sudden discharge, and therefore detection of the particle. Such an avalanche is known as electron avalanche.
