Abstract
[ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH] Investigation into whether the component influenced by the detector's compartment atmosphere is the ionization gas or an interpolar insulated body inside the ionization compartment. It was found that electric current between external and central poles and internal and central poles is not affected by temperature, humidity, or air pressure. Conversely, electric current between external and internal poles is easily influenced by absolute humidity.
