Abstract
This paper describes a multiple-plate gas ionization chamber designed for cross-section measurements of neutron-induced fission in strongly radioactive nuclei. The requirements of high resolution are discussed, in particular the need for cooling the sample to reduce Doppler broadening, and the selection of the gas mixtures that will enable fast counting at a low temperature. The observed gain in resolution with cooled samples is in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
