Scientific paper

A detector is described which uses a random-pinhole collimator in conjunction with a two-dimensional X-ray proportional counter. Performances of one and two-dimensional systems were studied by computer simulation, and imaging proportional counters were assembled. The first, using a single low-resistance wire laced back and forth across the chamber, is in operation in the rocket program and produces images with 1 mm resolution. The second type, which uses carbon-coated quartz wire, may have a higher resolution capability, and was studied for incorporation into a durable large-area detector. The multiple pinhole camera offers an ultimate capability of 1 sec angular resolution with sensitivity several orders of magnitude better than the present actual systems.
