“…Historically, this increase in ionization stemming from Penningtransfers is named 'Jesse effect' [87]. 6 By analogy with W I , the average energy needed to promote a gas species to an excited level j can be approximated through: 5 We will often use in the following ∆ε instead of ε in order to describe simultaneously the case of fully contained events (∆ε ≡ ε) as well as partially contained ones, for which ∆ε refers to the average energy lost before exiting the gas volume under consideration. A discussion about the ionization fluctuations in this latter case can be found later in text.…”

“…where φ represents an angle (or angles) defined at the image plane, σ 0 and σ D are parameters, and D is a systemdependent function [229,230]. Clearly, if the PSF is sufficiently finely sampled at the readout, and S/N allows, the initial x,y position can be reconstructed to almost arbitrary precision, and σ 0 → 0 (an excellent example of this is [227]).…”

“…The first TPC was integrated in the PEP4 spectrometer and helped at studying electronpositron collisions at a center of mass energy of 29 GeV, in the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). This pioneering development embraced the concepts of continuous readout, particle identification through energy loss and diffusion suppression in a way that made the effort technologically unprecedented [5]. By showing what could be done, it paved the way to increasingly sophisticated devices.…”

“…This review is organized in such a way so as to first intro-duce the main characteristics of the images obtained with this new generation of imaging chambers (section 2), proceeding then to discuss their enabling assets (section 3), and the most successful designs used in fundamental science (sections [4][5]. Section 6 is dedicated to a discussion of some of the most recent and intriguing ideas.…”

The ion backflow is the main limiting factor for operating time projection chambers at high event rates. A significant effort is invested by many experimental groups to solve this problem. This paper explores a solution based on operating a passive bi-polar wire grid. In the presence of the magnetic field, the grid more effectively attenuates the ion current than the electron current going through it. Transparencies of the grid to electrons and ions are measured for different gas mixtures and magnitudes of the magnetic field. The results suggest that in a sufficiently strong magnetic field, the bi-polar wire grid can be used as an effective and independent device to suppress the ion backflow in time projection chambers.

Abstract“A Craftsman Must Sharpen His Tools to Do His Job,” said Confucius. Nuclear detection and readout techniques are the foundation of particle physics, nuclear physics, and particle astrophysics to reveal the nature of the universe. Also, they are being increasingly used in other disciplines like nuclear power generation, life sciences, environmental sciences, medical sciences, etc. The article reviews the short history, recent development, and trend of nuclear detection and readout techniques, covering Semiconductor Detector, Gaseous Detector, Scintillation Detector, Cherenkov Detector, Transition Radiation Detector, and Readout Techniques. By explaining the principle and using examples, we hope to help the interested reader underst and this research field and bring exciting information to the community.
