In order to conform the optimal performance parameters of Boron -lined proportional counter , the pa-rameters of four different cylindrical Boron -lined proportional counters such as the multiplication factor , radii of both anode and cathode , distribution of electrical field , gas pressure and the lowest operational voltage are studied by the formula of Diethorn in this paper .The results show that the multiplication happens within severalμm from anode, the thinner anode can lead to stronger electrical field , the lowest operating voltage is...
