Abstract

A procedure is described for choosing the optimum pulse amplitude interval for a proportional counter when the useful signal level is comparable with the natural background level. It is shown that the optimum interval for counter pulses having a Gaussian amplitude distribution function corresponds to 1.4σ. The application of the procedure is demonstrated in a test example with processing of the iron K α x-ray spectrum.
