A potentiometer sets the neon lamp's voltage just below its ignition threshold. It is most likely that gamma emissions (which also are radiated as well as alpha) will be the major penetrating radiation for your neon lamp. Try adding a small capacitor across the neon lamp, maybe 100pf, and/or increasing the 1m resistor.

In this instructable, i will show you how to build a very simple and cheap geiger counter that can be built with salvaged parts and still get the job done. Participants emphasize the importance of the neon tube's ability to detect ionizing radiation and the need for careful capacitor selection to manage flash rates. But can a simple lamp.
