Proportional Counters
The counters operate in proportional mode at an ambient temperature not higher than +60°C.
Proportional counters are designed for highly efficient registration of neutron radiation in physical and radiometric devices, in portal radiation monitors, in equipment for registration of the neutron component of cosmic radiation, etc.
Proportional counters operate in voltage range at which the amplitude of the pulse from the counter is proportional to energy of particle that caused ionization.
The advantages of proportional counters include relatively low operating voltages, the possibility of obtaining high counting speeds, and a long service life.
