摘要:
A gamma-ray compensated ionization chamber having cylindrical multiplex electrodes comprises first cylindrical multiplex electrodes and second cylindrical multiplex electrodes being arranged in reverse orders to that of the first cylindrical multiplex electrodes in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical electrodes to prevent the deterioration of compensating characteristics caused by the variation of an external temperature and variation of gamma-ray spectrum.

A neutron ionization chamber of the gamma ray compensation type comprises a neutron-sensing ionization chamber portion having an electrode surface coated with a material for sensing neutrons, a gamma ray-sensing ionization chamber portion which has a low neutron sensitivity in comparison with the neutron sensitivity of said neutron-sensing material, a device for substracting ionization currents in the gamma ray-sensing ionization chamber portion from ionization currents in the neutron-sensing ionization chamber portion, and a coating material which is coated on an electrode surface of the gamma ray-sensing ionization chamber portion, the coating material including a material for sensing neutrons the percentage of which is less than the the percentage of the neutron sensing material of the neutron sensing ionization chamber portion.
摘要:
A method of improving the radiation resistant characteristic of a BF.sub.3 proportional counter, comprising a tube having electrodes provided thereon and BF.sub.3 gas filled therein, by subjecting the counter before use to any one of 10.sup.4 -2.times.10.sup.5 R gamma ray, 10.sup.4 -2.times.10.sup.5 R X-ray, or 10.sup.10 -10.sup.11 nvt thermal neutron with a direct current high voltage applied between the above stated electrodes. The counter thus adapted exhibits little deterioration even in the surroundings of strong gamma ray, X-ray, and thermal neutron flux, and can maintain a stable operation. In particular, since the upper limit of the radiation amount in the process of improving the radiation resistant characteristic is set at a low value, the remaining life of the BF.sub.3 proportional counter is not shortened unduely.

To eliminate deterioration in the saturation characteristics of gamma-rays, the total area of holes formed in a signal electrode which is arranged within a high-voltage electrode concentrically is set to a value equal to or smaller than 5% of the surface area of the signal electrode.
