SCINTILLATION PROPORTIONAL Xe COUNTER WITH WLS FIBER READOUT FOR LOW-ENERGY X-RAYS
A gas Xe based scintillation proportional counter with cylindrical geometry and wavelength shifting (WLS) fiber readout for X-rays of energy 0.5 − 100 keV is proposed. With such a design large sizes and sensitive area of the counter with a fairly well uniformity is possible. The counter could be used for ”dark matter” search and neutrino magnetic moment measurement and for detection of small am...
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 کاملRate effects in a proportional counter with resistive cathode
In this work, the rate effects associated with the gain of detectors with resistive electrodes are considered. To study these effects it was decided to use the classical proportional counter geometry, with a cylindrical glass tube as the cathode, rather than parallel plate devices. Indeed, the generality of the information obtained is not affected and the cylindrical proportional counter geomet...
متن کاملNovel concept for neutron detection: proportional counter filled with 10B nanoparticle aerosol
The high neutron detection efficiency, good gamma-ray discrimination and non-toxicity of 3He made of proportional counters filled with this gas the obvious choice for neutron detection, particularly in radiation portal monitors (RPM), used to control the illicit transport of nuclear material, of which neutron detectors are key components. 3He is very rare and during the last decade this gas has...
