accept only the fast signals;• Introduce a percentage of electronegative gas to
stop the electrons generated far from anode.

A Geiger-Mueller (GM) tube is a gas-filled radiation detector. It commonly takes the form of a cylindrical outer shell (cathode) and the sealed gas-filled space with a thin central wire of about 30 m (the anode) held at ~ 1 KV positive voltage with respect to the cathode.
The fill gas is generally argon at a pressure of less than 0.l atm plus a small quantity of a quenching vapor.

Collisions with the fill gas produce excited states (~11.6eV) that decay with the emission of a UV photon and electron-ion pairs (~26.4 eV for argon). The new electrons, plus the original, are accelerated to produce a cascade of ionization called "gas multiplication" or a Townsend avalanche. The multiplication factor for one avalanche is typically 106 to 108.
