This article is dedicated to a detailed investigation of properties of a proportional counter based on the Xe+2%CH4 mixture. A setup for filling the detectors with high purity Xe gas and Xe-based gas mixtures was designed and made. An optimized design of the proportional counters was developed and investigated. The design parameters, such as the material and diameter of the anode, the number and material of the gas mixture inlets, composition and pressure of the gas were improved. The operating regimes of the proportional counters, as well as their thermal stability, were investigated.

“…Electron velocities in high-pressure gas (Xe, He, H) mixtures can be found in the literature. Bolitnikov 49 reports saturated electron drift velocities of 10 5 -10 6 cm/s at voltages of 2-5x10 3 V/cm in Xenon and Xenon/Hydrogen mixtures at 0.6 g/cm 3 . Kobayashi 50 reports the saturated drift velocities of He as 2-4x10 5 cm/s at reduced electric field strengths (Electric-field / Number density) from 2-4x10 -18 V-cm for a Xe (20 atm)-He (3 atm) gas mixture of greater than 3x10 5 cm/s at reduced electric fields from 2-5x10 -18 Vcm 2 .…”

An innovative helium3 high pressure gas detection system, made possible by utilizing Sandia's expertise in Micro-electrical Mechanical fluidic systems, is proposed which appears to have many beneficial performance characteristics with regards to making these neutron measurements in the high bremsstrahlung and electrical noise environments found in High Energy Density Physics experiments and especially on the very high noise environment generated on the fast pulsed power experiments performed here at Sandia. This same system may dramatically improve active WMD and contraband detection as well when employed with ultrafast (10-50 ns) pulsed neutron sources. 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS[Sandia National Laboratories is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of Energy under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000.We wish to acknowledge those who have contributed to this project.
