DETECTION OF NUCLEAR PARTICLES. IONIZATION CHAMBERS AND COUNTERS

D. Blanc

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

A survey is presented of particle detectors based on ionization in a gas by the particle to be detected and giving an electric signal. The historical development of detcctors is briefly discussed. The characteristics and properties of the ionization chamber, proportional counters, Geiger-Mueller counters with organic vapor, counters with halogens, and spark counters, which are still in the development stage, are described. Some industrial applications of radiation detection instruments are considered. (J.S.H.)
