Abstract:A new design of a Gas Proportional Scintillation Counter (GPSC) for X-ray spectrometry is presented and a proof of concept is demonstrated. The proposed design is much simpler, having only one electrode, the anode. In addition, this electrode has an annular shape with its axis aligned with the photosensor axis. Since the scintillation region is limited to a small region near the anode, the solid angle subtended by the photocathode is similar relative to any position in the scintillation region and the amount o… Show more
