Abstract
Using single-wire position sensitive counters with a stainless-steel anode wire of 25 μm diameter, position sensing has been performed in the self-quenching streamer (SQS) mode. Overall position resolutions of 0.26 mm and 0.69 mm fwhm for 4.5 keV X-rays were obtained for 100 mm long and 1.82 m long counters, respectively, by means of standard NIM electronic circuits and a new ratio-to-digital converter (RDC). Problems in the application of SQS mode to position sensing are discussed.
