Some Results on the Fluorescence of Gases Excited by High-energy Charged Particles; QUELQUES RESULTATS CONCERNANT LA FLUORESCENCE DE GAZ EXCITES PAR DES PARTICULES CHARGEES DE GRANDE ENERGIE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4239218

The fluorescence induced by high energy charged particles is investigated with argon, krypton, xenon helium, nitrogen, and a mixture of argon and nitrogen. The results showed that the period of luminescence is very short, usually less than 10/sup -8/ sec. A linear response is obtained as a function of the energy lost by the particle to the gas, even in the case of strongly ionizing particles such as fission fragments. (J.S.R)
