Techniques for improving the sensitivity of proportional counters used in X-ray astronomy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
The discovery and measurement of cosmic X-ray sources has almost invariably been performed with proportional counters which have large window areas. In the energy range from 1 to 50 keV, proportional counters have advantages over other types of detectors; they provide energy resolution and they can be made relatively easily with very large window areas.
