Kk. Shikhliarov et al., DETECTING PART OF THE TRANSITION RADIATION DETECTOR FOR THE GINES INSTALLATION AT UNK, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 371(3), 1996, pp. 406-413
The detecting pan of an X-ray transition radiation detector based on t
hin-walled mylar straws is considered in this paper. The performance o
f xenon-filled straws in the self-quenching mode is studied in detail.
The measurements have been carried out both with radioactive sources
and under the electron beam of the Yerevan synchrotron.
