Abstract

We have found a recovery effect from a deposit on the anode wire of proportional counters after high count detection. Usually we use a quenching gas of some organic material for proportional counters. During the development of position-sensitive proportional counters, we found that isobutylene as a quenching gas creates a deposit on the carbon anode wire in proportional counters under high irradiation, while carbon dioxide eliminates the deposit. Furthermore, we have measured the expansion of the deposit on the anode wire using an X-ray beam of 0.15 mmφ.
