The gas proportional scintillation counter.
Abstract
Data published in the periodical literature concerning gas proportional scintillation counters are reviewed. The energy linearity and resolution, the effect of wavelength shifters, the process of light multiplication and the localization capabilities of the detectors are considered. Examples are given of some instruments together with their performance.
