Am. Petrascu et al., A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO GAS-FILLED PROPORTIONAL DETECTORS WITH DELAY-LINE READOUT, Journal of macromolecular science. Physics, B37(4), 1998, pp. 463-483
A brief introduction to the construction, operation, and performance o
f gas-filled proportional detectors with LC delay line readout is give
n. Measurements illustrating some of the fundamental physical principl
es involved and a method for obtaining accurate response curves for li
near detectors are described. The reaction-diffusion properties of the
detection process are illustrated by Turing patterns that can be obse
rved during homogeneous irradiation.
