- If a thin layer of 10B is plated on the inside of the
cathode surface, the detector can be used with a better proportional
gas than BF3.
- Less energy will be deposited in the gas compared to BF3,
as either only the alpha or only the Li will be collected in one
interaction.
- It is this fact and the resultant spectral shape which suggests that
such a detector will have a less clear cut discrimination with respect
to the gammas than the BF3 detector, and a worse plateau.
