“…Gaseous photodetectors with opaque CsI photocathodes and readout using multiwire chambers are successfully used in the so called proximity focused RICH detectors in experiments at CERN [10,51], GSI [52], and BNL [10]. Figure 1 shows the schematic diagram of such RICH detector [51]: the Cherenkov radiation emitted in the liquid radiator goes through the quartz window to the multiwire chamber in which it is registered using the CsI photocathode deposited on the cathode areas.…”

“…Nonetheless, the application of gaseous photodetectors with solid photocathodes is limited to a few RICH detectors based on CsI photocathodes with gas flow [10] which are in operation or under construction. This is related to the fact that the development of more practical gaseous photodetectors, such as those based on gas electron multipliers [11][12][13][14], sealed [15,16,20], and with photocathodes for the visible range [17][18][19][20][21], is still topical.…”

Remarkable properties of gas photodetectors make them attractive for application in high energy physics, astrophysics, and medical imaging. This review presents the results of research and development of gaseous photodetectors with solid photocathodes (GPDs). In particular, efficient photocathodes for the ultraviolet (mainly CsI) and the visible ranges, including photocathodes with protective dielectric nanofilms, are described. Some problems of the physics of gaseous photodetectors and photocathodes are considered: photoelectron backscattering in gas, photoemission amplification in an electric field, photoelectron transport through nanofilms, protective properties of nanofilms, and photon and ion feedback. A separate section is devoted to GPDs based on gas electron multipliers (GEMs), including sealed GPDs and cryogenic two-phase avalanche detectors with CsI photocathodes.
