Abstract

Performance and characteristics of a band-pass photon detector using acetone gas and CaF2 window (acetone/CaF2) have been studied and compared with an ethanol/MgF2 detector. The optimal operating conditions are found to be 4 mbar acetone pressure and 745±20 V anode voltage. The count rate obtained by us is about a factor of 3 higher than what has been reported earlier for the acetone detector. Unlike other gas filled detectors, this detector works in the proportional region with very small dead time (4 μs). A detector bandpass of 0.48±0.01 eV full width at half maximum is obtained.
