A straw chamber is a type of Gaseous ionization detector.

The three basic types of gaseous ionization detectors are:

Ionization-type smoke detectors are gaseous ionization detectors in widespread use.

Neutrons also do not ionize atoms except by direct collision, so gaseous ionization detectors are ineffective.

The proportional counter is a type of gaseous ionization detector device used to count particles of ionizing radiation.

Gaseous ionization detectors collect and record the electrons freed from gaseous atoms and molecules by the interaction of radiation released by the source.

Electrons have many applications, including in electronics, welding, cathode ray tubes, electron microscopes, radiation therapy, lasers, gaseous ionization detectors and particle accelerators.

Penning mixtures with the formulas of argon-xenon, neon-argon, argon-acetylene, and xenon-TMA are used as filler gases in gaseous ionization detectors.

The Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) is a type of gaseous ionization detector used in nuclear and particle physics and radiation detection.

All gaseous ionization detectors are able to collect the electrons released by ionizing radiation, guiding them to a region with a large electric field, and thereby initiating an electron avalanche.

In common gas filled tubes, such as those used as gaseous ionization detectors; magnitudes of currents flowing during this process can range from about 10 amperes to about 10 amperes.

It is a gaseous ionization detector and uses the Townsend avalanche phenomenon to produce an easily detectable electronic pulse from as little as a single ionising event due to a radiation particle.

Townsend avalanche discharges are fundamental to the operation of gaseous ionization detectors such as the Geiger-Müller tube and the Proportional counter in either detecting ionizing radiation or measuring its energy.

Compared with gaseous ionization detectors, the density of a semiconductor detector is very high, and charged particles of high energy can give off their energy in a semiconductor of relatively small dimensions.

Gaseous ionization detectors are radiation detection instruments designed to seek in particle physics the presence of ionising particles (a particle detector), and in general radiometric practice and radiation protection, to measure Ionising radiation.

Many of the detectors invented and used so far are ionization detectors (of which gaseous ionization detectors and semiconductor detectors are most typical) and scintillation detectors; but other, completely different principles have also been applied, like Čerenkov light and transition radiation.
