Scientific paper

A driftless gas scintillation proportional counter (GCPC) is described. The instrument has several advantages over conventional GSPCs especially for applications at low X-ray energies (about 0.1-30 keV) and small dimensions such as imaging focal plane detectors for X-ray telescopes or concentrators. The X-ray astronomy satellite project SAX has such a requirement and an imaging GSPC of this configuration is presented in this context.
