Performance characteristics of a gas scintillation spectrometer for X-ray astronomy
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal electrical parameters of a spherical electric field gas scintillation spectrometer for X-ray astronomy were determined using a collimated 55Fe 5.9 keV source.

The gas scintillation proportional counter on Exosat
TL;DR: The inclusion of a gas scintillation proportional counter (GSPC) within the EXOSAT payload complement significantly improves the spectroscopic capability of the mission as mentioned in this paper, and this broad-band medium energy spectrometer used in conjunction with the large area proportioni counter array (ME) should provide additional spectroscopy details on strong X-ray sources at photon energies above 2 keV.

The in-Orbit Performance of the Exosat Gas Scintillation Proportional Counter
TL;DR: In this paper, the in-orbit performance of the EXOSAT gas scintillation proportional counter spectrometer was investigated and the background rejection capability in the deep orbit was examined.

A fluorescent gated gas scintillation proportional counter for high energy X-ray spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this article, a background rejection technique suitable for xenon gas filled detectors measuring X-rays above 35 keV was presented, which involves the separate detection of both the xenon K shell fluorescent photon, emitted in most interactions involving the photo absorption of high energy X-ray above 34.5 keV, and the residual event from the initial photoabsorption.

A Position Sensitive Gas Scintillation Proportional Counter for X-Ray Astronomy
TL;DR: In this article, a gas scintillation proportional counter is presented for use as a broad band spectrometer in the focal plane of an imaging X-ray telescope, which has an on-axis position of 2.5 mm and an energy resolution of ~ 10% for 6 keV X-rays.
