  • Abstract
    An introduction to the history and to the principle of operation of wire chambers using photosensitive gases and liquids is presented. Their use as light sensors coupled to Gas Scintillation Proportional Counters and BaF2, as well as their use in Cherenkov Ring Imaging, is discussed in some detail.
