  • Abstract
    Calculations have been made that indicate that large area vacuum photodiodes, particularly with Cs2Te photocathodes, offer great advantages over photomultiplier tubes as the light sensing element in a gas scintillation proportional counter. Expected quantum efficiencies for Cs2Te and CsI photocathodes are calculated for Xe, Kr, and Ar spectra.
