Abstract :
Photons emitted by avalanches in gases can be detected with an image intensifier coupled to a solid-state camera. Some vapors enhance the emission at wavelengths close to the visible. Progress made in using this technique to image charged particles and Cherenkov photons is described. Results are presented for various gas mixtures containing TEA and TMAE.
