The imaging performance of multiwire proportional chambers

A simplified description is given of the operation of a multiwire proportional chamber (MWPC) in the soft X-ray imaging application. Expressions are developed to allow the calculation of the distribution of induced charge on the cathodes of an MWPC. With extensions to permit direct comparison, the c...
