Title: Vacuum buffer for the gamma-hard sensor

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10149724

The gamma-insensitive optical focal plane array, the so-called ``GAMMA-HARD`` sensor, uses an avalanche gas in contact with the photocathode. This limits the choice of avalanche gases to those chemically compatible with the standard photocathode materials. It is the purpose of this note to describe the design of a vacuum buffer between the photocathode and the gas which should eliminate the chemical compatibility issue.
