Investigations about the critical radius of the BF3 counters

Journal Article · · Nuclear Instruments and Methods
No critical radius is found in the investigated BF3 proportional counter. Alpha-particles are introduced parallel with the anode into the mica end-window counter filled with BF3-gas at 150 Hgmm, and the radial change of the number of impulses is thus studied. In the counter filled with BF3- gas at 150 and 300 Hgmm, the integral amplitude distribution is investigated as a function of electronic amplification at various distances of the source from the anode.
