“…1 " 5 The most recent efforts 6 " 10 have emphasized a design involving gamma sources and an electric field in cylindrical geometry. Gas ionization is produced by Compton scattered electrons from both the walls of the device and the carrier gas.…”

“…A voltage difference between inner and outer cylindrical electrodes causes a separation of the charge into regions of predominantly one polarity. While the results of Schultz's work 10 are promising, an evaluation of the full range of applicability of the schemes is difficult without a mathematical description of the physical processes. Furthermore, only a small fraction of the energy of the electrons scattered by the gamma radiation is utilized for ionization.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
