At the Institute of Physics and Astronomy of the Academy of Sciences of the Estonian S.S.R. there is a laboratory for the research on the properties of detectors for vacuum ultraviolet radiation. The laboratory has also the necessary measuring equipment, including a beam double vacuum monochromator for the wavelengths 1000–2700 Å with a balancing-out system of registration attached to it. The last-named device automatically eliminates effects on the results of measurement caused by the distribution of energy in the spectrum of the light source as well as by absorption in the apparatus.
Earlier the absolute efficiency of detectors was determined by means of a thermocouple but at present it is calculated from the data obtained from the photoionisation cross sections of gases.
The present report throws light on some results of the investigation of the properties of radiation detectors under different operating conditions.
