Waechter, G

The factors which must be considered in building BF/sub 3/ counters are discussed. The cathode material must be resistant to the corrosive effect of BF/ sub 3/ and must not become too activated. The purity of the filling gas influences the counting properties of the tube. The dimensions of the tube and the filling pressure determine the form of the pulse-height distribution which is to be measured by the counter. Possible uses of the BF/sub 3/ counter are indicated, especially the dosimetry of thermal and fast neutrons. (auth)
