Characteristics of proportional counters used in X-ray radiometric analysis

Description

Counters with extended (up to 10 cm2) apertres have been described and the results obtained are presented. CPM-15 and CPM-16 counters are intended for sensoring and spectral analysis of X-rays in the range of 2.5 to 23 and 2.5 to 15 keV, respectively. The only difference is in the gas composition. The CPM-15 counter is filled with 90 per cent xenon plus 10 per cent methane used as a quenching dopant. The CPM-16 is filled with 90 per cent argon and 10 per cent methane. The life time is 1010 pulses at 1800 V for CPM-16 and at 2200 V for CPM-15
