Novel concept for neutron detection: proportional counter filled with ¹⁰B nanoparticle aerosol. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2017
The high neutron detection efficiency, good gamma-ray discrimination and non-toxicity of 3He made of proportional counters filled with this gas the obvious choice for neutron detection, particularly in radiation portal monitors (RPM), used to control the

Compact Tissue-equivalent Proportional Counter for Deep Space Human Missions. [PDF]

Health Phys, 2015
Effects on human health from the complex radiation environment in deep space have not been measured and can only be simulated here on Earth using experimental systems and beams of radiations produced by accelerators, usually one beam at a time.

A Novel Hybrid Microdosimeter for Radiation Field Characterization Based on the Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counter Detector and Low Gain Avalanche Detectors Tracker: A Feasibility Study

Frontiers in Physics, 2021
In microdosimetry, lineal energies y are calculated from energy depositions ϵ inside the microdosimeter divided by the mean chord length, whose value is based on geometrical assumptions on both the detector and the radiation field.

Comparison of ZnS(Ag) Scintillator and Proportional Counter Tube for Alpha Detection in Thin-Layer Chromatography [PDF]

Pharmaceuticals
(1) Background: Targeted alpha therapy is an emerging field in nuclear medicine driven by two advantages: overcoming resistance in cancer-suffering patients to beta therapies and the practical application of lower activities of 212Pb- and 225Ac-labelled ...

PROPORTIONAL COUNTER PHOTON CAMERA. [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 1972
A gas-filled proportional counter camera that images photon emitting sources was built and tested. This camera measures and displays the impact location of individual photons in an energy range between 1 and 150 keV and permits pulse shape and energy discrimination for background reduction.

Neutron spectroscopy with the Spherical Proportional Counter

, 2017
A novel large volume spherical proportional counter, recently developed, is used for neutron measurements. Gas mixtures of $N_{2}$ with $C_{2}H_{6}$ and pure $N_{2}$ are studied for thermal and fast neutron detection, providing a new way for the neutron ...

Advances in the RXTE Proportional Counter Array Calibration: Nearing the Statistical Limit [PDF]

, 2012
During its 16 years of service the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) mission has provided an extensive archive of data, which will serve as a primary source of high cadence observations of variable X-ray sources for fast timing studies. It is, therefore,
