Keywords: | Gas proportional scintillation counter; CSI photocathode | Issue Date: | 2001 | Citation: | Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment. 457:1-2 (2001) 253-261 | Abstract: | A xenon-filled gas proportional scintillation counter for X-ray spectrometry is described. The detector uses a microstrip plate covered with a thin CsI film as a photosensor rather than the usual photomultiplier tube. The achieved energy resolution for 5.9 keV X-rays is 12% when the microstrip is operated within the xenon volume and 10.5% when the microstrip is operated in a P-10 environment, separated from the xenon volume by a quartz window. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4519 | DOI: | 10.1016/S0168-9002(00)00746-4 | Rights: | openAccess |
