Summary

This 2016 peer-reviewed paper presents the design and experimental evaluation of a resistive-plate well gaseous radiation detector operated with argon gas mixtures. The work, as suggested by the journal and title, focuses on establishing the robustness and reliability of this detector configuration for applications in particle and nuclear physics. No direct relevance to agricultural, soil, nutritional or food systems research is apparent from the metadata.

UK applicability

This is a foundational physics instrumentation paper with no direct applicability to UK farming systems, soil health, nutrient density or food production research. Its methods and findings relate exclusively to particle detection technology.

Key measures

Detector gain, energy resolution, gas amplification efficiency, operating voltage stability, and response to radiation with argon-based gas mixtures

Outcomes reported

This paper describes the development and characterisation of a resistive-plate well detector using argon gas mixtures. The study evaluated detector robustness, gain characteristics, and performance metrics under specified operating conditions.
