GLASS BORON TRIFLUORIDE PROPORTIONAL COUNTER (in German)
The macufacture of a BF/sub 3/ counter of boron-free glass with layer cathode was studied. The construction of the tube and the manufacture of the cathode are described. Since the possibility of the formation of electronegative gas constituent particles exists in glass tubes with BF/sub 3/ filling, the survival probability of the electrons in the tube must be as large as possible. As impurities from electronegative gases are not considered in the equation for the survival possibility, the preparation and purification of the filling gas and tube must be carefully done. A family of curves was derived for the evaluation of the counter tube. From these curves the pulse rate dependence on the tube voltage, the integral pulse height distribution, and the gas amplification can be obtained. (tr-auth)
