A light meter has been designed and built for the purpose of measuring the light emitted from an intensifying screen during x-ray irradiation. The meter uses a photodiode detector with a minimal drift amplification system. The meter repeatability was better than 0.5% and was found to be linear. A significant x-ray induced signal was recorded during measurement which needed to be subtracted from readings to deduce the intensification screen light output. The energy response of four screen types was subsequently measured.
A theoretical and experimental investigation of the influence of eccentricity of the multiplication wire on the performance of cylindrical proportional counters is presented. The electric field in the counter is calculated by the method of images, and the Townsend formalism is used to derive the gas gain. The experimental determination of detector performance is carried out with 37Ar. The dependence of the gas gain and of the counter resolution on eccentricity is discussed, and it is shown that eccentricities up to 0.2 are of no concern in microdosimetric measurements with cylindrical proportional counters.
