Description
A spherical avalanche type fission detector is described for fission cross section measurements on highly α-active isotopes. It combines good α-suppression (discrimination factor better than 10-10) and fast timing properties (Δt< approximately 0.2 ns fwhm). The detector works with almost 100% efficiency so that only μg-amounts of sample material are required. (Auth.)
