摘要
An overview of the operational characteristics of multiwire gas proportional counters is given with particular reference to their use in X-ray diffraction. Their strengths and weaknesses are analysed and it is demonstrated that these devices are able to offer a combination of features that is unique. Some examples of synchrotron radiation experiments performed with gas detectors are used to illustrate their performance, and finally, the current status of development and prospects for the future development of gas detectors are reviewed.
