A parallel grid proportional scintillation counter for the X-ray region from 3 to 20 keV with regard to high counting rates

Description
The PSD seems to be a suitable detector not only in the soft X-ray region but also due to its ability to detect high counting rates. It is of great interest for the higher energy region. A parallel grid PSD has been build operated with Xe-He-mixtures as detection gas. The pulse rise time could be decreased from 2 μsec for pure Xe to 0.5 μsec for a 80% Xe + 20% He mixture. The detector works without peak shifts up to counting rates of 105 c/sec and practically no resolution deterioration was observed up to 5 x 104 c/sec. (author)
