Proportional Counter Tube Size
So i am interested in getting a neutron detection system setup with a NIM System and a BF3 Proportional Counter for my Fusor. But, i have been looking around trying to find what size i should get but i haven't been able to find anything. So i was wondering does anyone here know where and what size i should get in these tubes?

Re: Proportional Counter Tube Size
Purchase the absolute largest tube that you can afford. Internal volume = sensitivity and low end detection. A newbie needs low end detection.
