Description

Results for the energy resolution of a uniform-field gas proportional-scintillation counter are presented for the range 0.1-3 keV. A comparison with results from the literature shows that the detector is most suitable for this energy range. Examples of x-ray fluorescence pulse-height distributions from geological and industrial samples are presented. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/xrs.682
