초록

X-ray absorption rate and multiplication factor of X-ray detector were calculated with Garfield code. High Z (= atomic number) was important factor to increase the absorption rate but low Z is also important to increase the multiplication. Five different gas composition were examined under the condition of 1400 V bias and 400 um gap. Xe 100% gas showed the highest absorption rate and He 96% + isobutene 4% showed the highest multiplication.
