Abstract
A proportional detector for the localization of particles comprises a leak-tight chamber filled with fluid and fitted with an electrode of a fisrt type consisting of one or more conducting wires and with an electrode of a second type consisting of one or more conducting plates having the shape of a portion of cylindrical surface and a contour which provides a one-to-one correspondence between the position of a point of the wires and the solid angle which subtends the plate at that point, means being provided for collecting the electrical signal which appears on the plates.
