“…This implies that dE/dx measurements could rely both on the excitations and ionizations induced by the charged particle, rather than use only the electrons produced in the medium. The possibility of detecting transition radiation from relativistic particles is being considered [44], where use is made of the spatial resolution capabilities of the electroluminescent drift chamber [42], relying on the spatial separation of the track of the particle and the TR quantum, and using also the secondary scintillation for energy resolution as well as for drift-time measurements.…”

Gaseous media may efficiently convert into photons the energy losses of particles and the energy supplied by electric fields to drifting electrons. Some mechanisms associated with the process of light production, in particular the two continua and a few energy transfer phenomena, are considered. The relevance of these processes to control the spectral distribution of the photons, and consequently to its detection, and their interest for the time characteristics and the energy resolution capabilities of detecting devices are also referred to. A few examples are presented of instrumental results that either reflect important characteristics of gas scintillation counters, or point to further possible developments, as regards energy, time and position resolutions.
