摘要
The operating characteristics of a xenon driftless gas proportional scintillation counter with it P10 microstrip gas chamber photosensor in magnetic fields up to 5 T are described. Energy resolution of 19% for 2.3-keV X-rays and an equivalent noise of <50eV were obtained. Pulse amplitude and energy resolution were unaffected from 0 to 5 T, demonstrating the insensitivity of this type of detector to strong magnetic fields. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
