M. Salomon et al., GAS MICROSTRIP DETECTORS BASED ON FLEXIBLE PRINTED-CIRCUIT TECHNOLOGY, IEEE transactions on nuclear science, 43(3), 1996, pp. 1157-1160
We have studied the properties of a new type of Gas Microstrip Counter
built using flexible printed circuit technology. We describe the manu
facturing procedures, the assembly of the device, as well as its opera
tion under a variety of conditions, gases and types of radiation. We a
lso describe two new passivation materials, Tantalum and Niobium, whic
h produce effective surfaces.
