CORONA COUNTER FOR THERMAL NEUTRONS
The characteristics of a double-plate, corona counter with a boron- coated cathode were investigated with regard to variation of wire spacing, anode- to-cathode spacing, gas flow, and air pressure. A counter designed to detect a thin neutron beam of 0.0002 cm/sup 2/ cross seetion is described. The sensitivity of each wire in this counter was investigated. This counter was life tested with a nitrogen filling for over 1500 hr or a total of 10/sup 7/ counts. (auth)
