Scientific paper

The payload of the Italian/Dutch satellite SAX includes a set of four X-ray concentrators each of geometric area 120cm2 together with imaging gas scintillation proportional counter detectors located at the focal planes. One of these detectors is sensitive to X-rays in the energy range 0.1-10 keV, while the other three cover the narrower energy range of 1.3-10 keV. In order to achieve this extended low-energy response, a new design of gas scintillation proportional counter has been developed.
