Scientific paper

The High Pressure Gas Scintillation Proportional Counter (HPGSPC), one of the experiments on board the Italian X-ray Astronomy Satellite SAX, is described. The experiment has a field of view of about 1 deg, an energy bandpass from less than 4 to 120 keV, a demonstrated energy resolution of about 5 keV at 60 keV and an extrapolated resolution (at 60 keV) of less than 2 keV. This is obtained with an entrance area of 450 sq cm and an absorption-pressure of 50 cm.atm.
