PROPORTIONAL COUNTER

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4673180
A gas-type proportional counter using an inert gas as fill gas has an infinite lifetime but is affected by the afterpulsing effect in which spurious pulses follow the output pulse. This afterpulsing effect may be prevented by adding 3 to 20% by pressure of nitrogen to the inert gas. (D.L.C.)
