    Abstract: A coaxial anode construction for a gas radiation counter is disclosed by which undesirable background ionization interference may be suppressed. The anode comprises an elongated central wire covered with an electrically insulating sleeve. A plurality of longitudinally discontinuous segments of an electrically conductive coating is disposed about the insulating sleeve in coaxial relationship to and along the length of the central wire. In the preferred inventive embodiment, the plurality of conductive coating segments define a so-called veto or rejection anode at each end portion of the central wire and a main or primary charge detecting anode disposed therebetween. Coupling means are connected to each of the segments such that the primary charge detecting anode is connected to detection circuitry in anti-coincidence with the veto anodes. Background radiation detected by either of the veto anodes and the primary charge detecting anode is therefore rejected and the sensitivity of the radiation counter device is increased.

    Abstract: A gas-filled proportional counter camera that images photon emitting sources has been provided. A two-dimensional, positionsensitive proportional multiwire counter is provided as the detector. The counter consists of a high voltage anode screen sandwiched between orthogonally disposed planar arrays of multiple parallel strung, resistively coupled cathode wires. Two terminals from each of the cathode arrays are connected to separate timing circuitry to obtain separate X and Y coordinate signal values from pulse shape measurements to define the position of an event within the counter arrays which may be recorded by various means for data display. The counter is further provided with a linear drift field which effectively enlarges the active gas volume of the counter and constrains the recoil electrons produced from ionizing radiation entering the counter to drift perpendicularly toward the planar detection arrays. A collimator is interposed between a subject to be imaged and the counter to transmit only the radiation from the subject which has a perpendicular trajectory with respect to the planar cathode arrays of the detector.

    Abstract: A matrix-form radiation detector, operating in the proportional gas mode, is provided for indicating the x and y coordinates of each ionizing event caused by the radiation. This information is utilized to form an image of the radiation pattern being detected. The detector has a plurality of cathodes arranged in columns and rows. The cathodes in each column are connected to one another, and those in each row are electrically isolated from one another. A plurality of anode wires is provided. Each cathode substantially encircles one of the anode wires, and each wire passes through all of the cathodes in a given row. Encoding circuitry and other means are provided for encoding the address of each ionizing event, and for storing and/or displaying the encoded information.
