What is Neon Lamp Quench Circuit Analysis about?

1) The document describes experiments using neon gas tubes as radiation detectors by placing them in a quench circuit to quickly reduce the voltage across the tube after it fires. 2) Testing an NE-2 neon bulb in the circuit showed it triggered around 60V but was not sensitive enough to detect x-rays from a small radioactive source. 3) Opening some small neon bulbs revealed that the electrodes are sometimes surprisingly radioactive, making the bulbs effectively small ion chambers due to their internal radi
