GAS SCINTILLATION COUNTER
A systematic investigation of the optimum conditions for the design and operation of a gas scintillation counter has been made. The gases studied were Xe, Kr, Ar, He, and various gas mixtures. Both a 6292 and a quartz window K1306 phototube were used with and without quaterphenyl as a wavelength shifter. Under optimum conditions an energy spread of less than 4% is obtainable for the Po/sup 210/ alpha particles. The application of the gas scintillation counter as a fast slow neutron detectors using the reaction ctor have been examined and discussed. (auth)
