| description | The characteristics of the plateau curve, specifically its length and slope, in boron-coated proportional counters are key performance indicators that impact the detector’s overall performance. Currently, the lack of research on the plateau curve of boron-coated proportional counters is holding back progress in engineering design and scientific research. This study harnesses the Diethorn formula, a calculation method for gas gain, to explore the relationship between gas amplification and the plateau curve in a boron-coated proportional counter. Based on the analysis of experimental data, this study proposes methods for improving the characteristics of the plateau curve in a proportional counter, including modifications to the counter structure and gas pressure, along with an evaluation method for assessing the effectiveness of these improvements. First, the causes of the plateau curve in a boron-coated proportional counter are analyzed through a physical process perspective, identifying factors that influence gas amplification and subsequently affect the plateau curve. Building upon this foundation, the Diethorn formula is utilized to explore the effects of structural parameters and gas pressure on gas multiplication. Finally, experimental validation is conducted, resulting in the proposal of three methods for improving the characteristics of the plateau curve and an evaluation method for assessing the effectiveness of improvements. |
