  • Abstract
    A new type of gas proportional scintillation counter with uniform electric field is described. This counter is the scintillation counter analog of the Frish ionization chamber. Its principle is discussed and the properties experimentally studied using pure argon. Energy resolutions of 1.9% were obtained for 8.1 MeV alpha particles. Some results concerning the interpretation of the mechanism of the secondary scintillation are discussed.
