Hi. From the web: "Considerable quantities of neon are used in high-energy physics research. Neon fills spark chambers used to detect the passage of nuclear particles. Liquid neon can be utilized as a refrigerant in the temperature range about 25 to 40 K (?416 to ?387Â°F). Neon is also used in some kinds of electron tubes, in Geiger-MÃ¼ller counters, in spark-plug test lamps, and in warning indicators on high-voltage electric lines. A very small wattage produces visible light in neon-filled glow lamps; such lamps are used as economical night and safety lights."
