Detection of soft X-rays with a xenon proportional scintillation counter
TL;DR: In this article, soft X-rays were detected with a xenon proportional scintillation counter; for example, full widths at half maximum of 100 eV and 140 eV were obtained for the carbon and oxygen X-ray, respectively.

The Scintillating Drift Chamber: A New Tool for High Accuracy, Very High Rate Particle Localization
TL;DR: In this article, a photomultiplier detects the photons emitted by the electrons drifting in a strong electric field in a short gap at the end of the drift space, where the absence of space charge leads to considerable high-rate capabilities; at 2x106/s mm2 no change of characteristics is observed.

New Near-Infrared and Ultraviolet Gas-Proportional Scintillation Counters
P. E. Thiess,G. H. Miley +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a gas-proportional scintillation counters have been performed using a large alpha source, reasonable spectral resolution (< 25-k), and including the strong near-infrared transitions in noble gases excluded in all previous studies.

A Parallel Plate Imaging Proportional Counter with High Background Rejection Capability
TL;DR: In this article, the results of studies of the scintillation produced by avalanches in a parallel plate proportional counter were presented, and it was shown that background rejection of greater than 90% may be achieved by risetime discrimination using the light pulse.

Space Charge Effects in Proportional Counters
TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative theory for the mean shift of the energy peak created by mono-energetic x rays was developed and confirmed experimentally, and a quantitative model for the effect of positive ions on the position and breadth of energy peak was proposed.

Improved resolution for low energies with gas proportional scintillation counters.
TL;DR: In this article, the relative variance of the pulses from the gas proportional scintillation counter was measured for a full width half maximum of 500 eV for 59 keV and the possibility of using the counter for fast coincidence work is considered.

New Concepts in Nuclear Pulse Amplifier Design
J. L. Blankenship,C. H. Nowlin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a nuclear pulse amplifier with a linear lumped-element network was designed to approximate desirable overall transfer functions, and it was evaluated for overload recovery, crossover walk, pile-up distortion, common mode rejection, and noise-to-signal ratio.

Gain stability in high-current photomultipliers at high variable counting rates
A.K. Gupta,N. Nath +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the energy resolution of 56AVP photomultiplier tube was found to deteriorate at high counting rates and this gain shift was nearly eliminated by keeping the voltages stabilized for the last two stages of the photomULTiplier chain.

Improved energy resolution with X ray gas detectors
TL;DR: In this paper, the detection of the light pulses from a xenon counter gives a resolution of 11.2% for 5.9 keV and this value can be further improved.
