Abstract
The mesh chamber consists of a multi-layer tungsten mesh gamma convertor coupled to a multiwire proportional chamber. Spatial resolution, time resolution, and efficiency will be discussed for such detectors as applied to positron emission imaging systems operating in both an area and slice mode.Keywords
