Gas Scintillation Proportional Counters for High-Energy X-ray Astronomy
A focal plane array of high-pressure gas scintillation proportional counters (GSPC) for a balloon-borne hard-x-ray telescope is under development at the Marshall Space Flight Center. These detectors each have an active area of ~ 20 cm, and are filled with a high pressure (10 Pa) xenon-helium mixture. Imaging is via crossed-grid position-sensitive phototubes sensitive in the UV region. The perfo...
متن کاملGas Gain in Air-mixed Argon-Propane (1%)-based Proportional Counters
For the design of a special gas-flow proportional counter intended for a new on-line measurement method of airborne radon (Rn) concentration, the amplification properties of four gas compositions were investigated in air-mixed Argon-propane (1%)-based proportional counters. These four gas compositions are: Ar-C3H8 (1%); Ar-C3H8 (1%) + 2% air; Ar-C3H8 (1%) + 6% air and Ar-C3H8 (1%) + 10% air. Th...
متن کاملProportional Counters as Low Energy Photon Detectors
We have investigated the response of an argon-methane proportional counter to monochromatic X-rays in the range 99-277 eV . The apparent nonlinearities in mean pulse height as a function of photon energy and the detailed shape of the pulse height distribution for each energy can be predicted quite precisely using the extensive atomic data available for argon. Based on this understanding, we pro...
متن کاملA new method for pulse analysis of driftless-gas proportional scintillation counters
A new method for pulse analysis of driftless-gas proportional scintillation counters (GPSCs) is presented. With this method the requirement for additional analog or digital signal time-analysis and pulse-amplitude correction currently used is eliminated. In contrast to conventionaland driftless-GPSCs that have always relied on long shaping-time constants (several ms), the use of very short line...
متن کاملComprehensive applications of the gas flow proportional counters for Radiological Surveillance
Gas Flow Proportional Counters (GFPC) have been developed indigenously for various radiation protection applications. These detectors can be fabricated for 2” diameter filter paper sample counting applications to large area (~1500 cm) detectors for surface contamination applications. Thin entrance windows allow nonpenetrating type of radiations like alpha and low energy beta particles. Efficien...
