Scientific paper

Results are presented on a gas scintillation proportional counter (GSPC) designed for a large-area satellite-borne detector, which has a significantly better energy resolution than the classical proportional counter, in order to observe detailed X-ray spectral features in a variety of astrophysical objects. Energy resolution of 8.35% (FWHM) at 6 keV, and the GSPC rejects more than 90% of the background events normally falling within a selected energy window.
