Prospects of using large vacuum photodiodes with gas scintillation proportional counters
The use of CsI and Cs/sub 2/Te as photocathode materials for the detection of ultraviolet light from noble gas scintillators is discussed. Calculated energy resolution for a gas scintillation proportional counter using Cs/sub 2/Te vacuum photodiodes is compared with the same counter with a photomultiplier tube. Problems which must be solved to permit fabrication of large Cs/sub 2/Te vacuum photodiodes are mentioned.
