Abstract
The authors investigated the possibility of replacing the conventional photomultiplier tube with a vacuum photodiode as light sensor for gas scintillation counters. This was successfully done for heavy ions in counters where a high light output was available. It is shown that the diode can also be used with a gas scintillation proportional counter measuring low-energy particles if a large light amplification factor exists. Test results with 238U ions at 1.4 MeV/amu, 252Cf fission fragments and 241Am α-particles are presented.
