Summary

This paper describes the development and characterisation of a resistive-plate WELL gaseous radiation detector utilising argon-based gas mixtures. The work appears to focus on establishing the robustness and performance stability of this detector configuration, as suggested by the title's emphasis on a 'robust' design. Such detectors are typically used in high-energy physics experiments and radiation monitoring applications.

UK applicability

As a fundamental instrumentation paper with no direct application to farming systems, soil health, or agricultural nutrition, this record is not applicable to UK agricultural or food systems policy or practice. It appears to have been catalogued in error.

Key measures

Detector gain, energy resolution, detection efficiency, operational stability with argon gas mixtures

Outcomes reported

The study reports on the design, construction, and performance characteristics of a resistive-plate well (WELL) detector operated with argon-based gas mixtures. Performance metrics likely include detection efficiency, gain stability, and robustness under various operational conditions.
