Measurements of the pressure-rise in G-M counters filled with argon and alcohol indicate that, corresponding to each ion pair produced in the discharge, the increase in number of gaseous molecules due to alcohol decomposition, lies between 5 to 10. This number increases as the overvoltage is lowered. Thus the counting life of a counter can not be expressed merely in terms of quantity of electric charge passing through it.Some possible explanations are discussed.
