...A “balanced filter” approach (Starr et al., 2000) was therefore employed, in which thin foils of Mg and Al placed in front of two GPCs provide selective absorption at different energies and allow the fluorescent signals from these elements to be deconvolved (Adler et al., 1972; Trombka et al.,…...

...A detailed description of the response of proportional counters can be found in Knoll (1989). The gas proportional counters on NEAR have a chamber diameter of 42 mm and are filled with P-10 gas, a mixture of 90% argon and 10% methane, to an absolute pressure of 1200 mbar....
