Conference ·
OSTI ID:4168738
Various applications of Multiwire Proportional Chambers (MWPC) to problems in medical imaging of x-rays and $gamma$-rays, technical neutron radiography, x-ray crystallography and x-ray astronomy are reviewed. Various types of drift spaces, gas fillings and solid (boron, plastic, lead) converters for enhancing the detection efficiency of the MWPC to gamma and neutron radiations are discussed. (auth)
