The use of an intense XeCl laser provided a unique way to produce large primary ionization in a streamer tube. The response of a proportional tube was also studied as a function of the laser intensity for calibration purposes and to better understand the physical processes involved in the excitation-ionization mechanisms in the gas mixtures. Up to ionization powers as large as hundreds of m.i.p, the streamer tube response was shown to be logarithmic.

Abstract
The use of an intense XeCl laser provided a unique way to produce large primary ionization in a streamer tube. The response of a proportional tube was also studied as a function of the laser intensity for calibration purposes and to better understand the physical processes involved in the excitation-ionization mechanisms in the gas mixtures. Up to ionization powers as large as hundreds of m.i.p, the streamer tube response was shown to be logarithmic.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
