Different analytical formulae have been described in the literature to modify response of Geiger-Müller (G-M) detectors. In this work, improvement of a previously proposed dead time correction formula was investigated. A set of experimental data of a decaying source was the basis of the analysis. A general agreement is seen with the experimental data. The result was compared with those obtained by the original work. Numerical aspects were also examined.
