Which outcome occurs when high noble gas pressure impacts detector photomultiplier quantum efficiency?

💡 Explanation

Quenching of excited states occurs because increased collision rate facilitates non-radiative relaxation, rather than radiative emission. Therefore, the photomultiplier’s gain decreases resulting in lowered quantum efficiency rather than alternative emission spectrum deviations.
