Abstract
A position sensitive proportional counter is described which shows some novel features in the method of position encoding compared with previous systems. The encoding is done by an inductance‐capacity (L‐C) line connected to cathode strips, rather than by resistance‐capacity encoding (high resistance) using the anode wire. The spatial resolution for a counter length of 8 cm is 0.2 mm (which corresponds to 0.01° for the geometry used here). Counting can be at high rates for indefinite periods.
