This physics image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Spread of avalanches in G-M tube.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary

Description
English: Visualisation of the spread of Townsend avalanches in a Geiger-Muller tube. In a Townsend avalanche, UV photons are created, which may be re-absorbed elsewhere to create a further secondary electron. The photons are not afftected by the electric field, so the chain reaction can spread.
