Xenon–Neon Gas Proportional-Scintillation Counters for X-Rays Below 2 keV: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
The energy spectra of X-rays with energies below 2 keV measured at atmospheric pressure with standard Xe gas detectors, such as gas proportional-scintillation counters, exhibit distortions that are related to losses of electrons and fluorescence photons to the radiation window. In this paper, a Monte Carlo simulation method that takes into account these losses investigates the use of Xe–Ne mixt...

The energy spectra of x-rays with energies below 2 keV measured at atmospheric pressure with standard Xe gas detectors, such as gas proportional-scintillation counters (GPSC), exhibit distortions that are related to losses of electrons and fluorescence photons to the radiation window. In this work, a Monte Carlo simulation method that takes into account these losses investigates the use of Xe-N...
متن کاملGas 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 کاملThe gas proportional scintillation counter / microstrip gas chamber hybrid detector
The gas proportional scintillation counter/microstrip gas chamber (GPSC/MSGC) hybrid detector for X-ray spectrometry is described. The detector uses a CsI-coated microstrip plate placed in direct contact with the gas-filling as the photosensor readout for the GPSC scintillation substituting for the photomultiplier tube (PMT). Usable photosensor maximum gain is limited by optical positive feedba...
متن کاملScintillation of Xenon doped Liquid Argon in the BACON Detector
The BACON liquid argon (LAr) scintillation detector prototype will be used to measure 1 2 intensity, promptness , and decay behavior for pure LAr and xenon (Xe) doped LAr mixtures. 3 The goal is to aid in planning, cost reduction, and improved detection for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) [6]. The scintillation of LAr is in the vacuum ultra-violet (VUV), requiring detectors to u...
