The present investigation is concerned with the design of a high-pressure parallel-grid position sensitive gas scintillation proportional counter (HPGSPC). It is pointed out that such devices may play a significant part in such fields as X-ray Astronomy and nuclear medicine. The principal merits of an HPGSPC would be related to an increased efficiency at higher energies, an excellent energy resolution, and an imaging capability at the millimeter level. In the considered detector, X-rays are absorbed in a region filled with xenon at a pressure of 5 atm. Attention is given to a schematic of the detector, the principle of operation, a performance evaluation, spatial resolution, energy resolution, background rejection, and areas of improvement.
