Preferred Label : proportional gas-scintillation counter;
IUPAC definition : A proportional counter coupled to an ultraviolet sensitive photomultiplier tube. Initial
electrons produced by the interaction of the high-energy photon with the counter fill-gas
are accelerated by a high electric field where they acquire sufficient energy to excite
the noble gas atoms. The resulting UV radiation is observed by a photomultiplier tube.;
