A high-pressure MWPC detector for crystallography
The application of the Multi-Wire Proportional Counter (MWPC) as a potential detector for protein crystallography and other wide-angle diffraction experiments is presented. Electrostatic problems found with our large area MWPC when operated at high pressure are discussed. We suggest that a solution to these problems is to use a glass micro-strip detector in place of the wire frames.
The characteristics of a high-pressure Micro-Strip Gas Chamber (MSGC) tested in the laboratory are presented.
