“…CONCLUSION It is believed that the operation of the helium ionization detector is based on the Penning effect (12), that is, the transfer of the excitation energy of the metastable helium to the atom or molecule of another gas. Several investigators (13)(14)(15) have undertaken the task of explaining some of the theoretical aspects of the helium detector mechanism. However, two challenging problems remain.…”
