Description
A description of some basic properties of gas-based detectors that make them
attractive for advanced applications will be made. Of those operating with gas
gain, emphasis will be given to the gas electron multiplier, the pin detector, and
the traditional wire chamber. The benefits of operating in ionization mode will be
explored. Examples of these techniques in experiments employing X-ray, neutron and
particle position sensing will be described.
