Proportional Counters

The relative merits of using scintillation counters or proportional counters in a very large area (~100 m2) telescope to search for a flux of relativistic quarks are considered. It is shown that proportional counters are more satisfactory for large-area detectors and that counters 10 m long and 14.5 cm in internal diameter filled with 90% argon, 10% methane gas should give a signal of ~2 mV at the input to an emitter follower on the passage of a relativistic e/3 quark along an average chord length.
