Abstract

The construction and performance of a proportional counting system is presented. The system contains a methane filled counter of 0.83 dm 3 effective volume surrounded with a multiwire ring guard counter. The whole arrangement is located in a lead shield. Boron loaded paraffin layer is used between the counters and the lead. The pulses of the detectors are handled by integrated amplifiers, discriminators and anticoincidence units interfaced to a microprocessor controlled data evaluation unit. The system has performed well over more than six years of operation.
