摘要
Systematic measurements of the energy resolution available from a Micro-strip Gas Counter (MSGC) are presented, The effect of factors such as bias potential, gas filling and strip geometry on the energy resolution are examined in detail and related to a simple model. The geometry of the MSGC is adapted to permit "wall-less" detection of X-rays and this results in useful improvements in the pulse height spectra. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
