Abstract
A coaxial electrical signal cable is inherently compensated for gamma flux induced currents by the use of selected alloys for the central conductive wire. The central conductive wire alloy comprises a first metal which interacts with the gamma flux to produce a negative current contribution between the central conductive wire and the conductive sheath, and a second metal which interacts with the gamma flux to produce a positive current contribution, which in combination with the signal produced in the conductive sheath results in a null gamma induced current for the cable.
