Creators

  • 1. Institut Rudjer Boskovic, Zagreb (Yugoslavia)

Description

The multiwire proportional counter was built from a steel tube and two concentric series of the wire electrodes so that a central counter was surrounded by 15 counter elements. An electric potential configuration around the wire anode by means of the complex potential function and method of image was determined. The relation between electric field intensity, electrode high voltage and distance from the anode was derived and confirmed by the results of measurements
