A description is given of an ionization chamber, the electrodes of which are coated with a layer of natural boron of thickness 3 mg/cm/sup 2/. Each electrode of the chamber consists of three disks, placed between plates of the other electrodes. The capacitance between the electrodes does not exceed 15 micromicrofarads. The technology of coating the layer is as follows: the boron is mixed with alcohol and a small amount of Canada balsam and is coated in the form of an emulsion on the plates. The chamber efficiency is approximately 2%. The filler is argon at atmospheric pressure. The duration of the output pulses after forming is approximately 5 microseconds.
