“…Detailed studies of primary scintillation in rare gases show a field-dependent correlation between the primary charge and the luminescence yields induced by ionizing radiation, due to a mechanism of electron-ion recombination (Policarpo et al, 1970;Suzuki, 1983;Saito et al, 2008); Figure 5.16, from the second reference, shows the relative light and charge yield measured as a function of reduced electric field for argon, krypton and xenon. A simultaneous measurement of the two quantities can be exploited to improve the energy resolution of counters (Bolotnikov and Ramsey, 1999).…”

Widely used in high-energy and particle physics, gaseous radiation detectors are undergoing continuous development. The first part of this book provides a solid background for understanding the basic processes leading to the detection and tracking of charged particles, photons, and neutrons. Continuing then with the development of the multi-wire proportional chamber, the book describes the design and operation of successive generations of gas-based radiation detectors, as well as their use in experimental physics and other fields. Examples are provided of applications for complex events tracking, particle identification, and neutral radiation imaging. Limitations of the devices are discussed in detail. Including an extensive collection of data and references, this book is ideal for researchers and experimentalists in nuclear and particle physics.
