Description

The photoelectron-collection efficiency from photocathodes in noble gases is studied. The case of electron emission induced by a Hg lamp in a CsI photocathode is analyzed. The ratio between the number of transmitted photoelectrons in the gas media and in vacuum is determined, and results are presented for He, Ne, Ar, Xe, Kr, and CH4 as a function of the applied reduced electric field E/p, where p is the gas pressure.
