Popis: A solid converter consisting of alternate sheets of brass and insulating material has been placed above a multi-wire proportional chamber 1 ). X-rays were converted to photo electrons in this dense material and the electrons drifted through holes in the sheets into the chamber where they were detected. It was found that a drift field inside the converter of only a few hundred volts per cm was required to drift the electrons into the chamber. The spectra of pulse heights from the chamber have been measured.
