Abstract

The spark chamber is used to study the following gas phenomena: drift of single electrons under the influence of an electric field, deexcitation of metastable rare-gas atoms in collisions with molecules, and ionization by high-energy particles of various energies. The method determines the average number of electrons from the spark efficiency and is capable of showing that a large fraction of the primary ionization is due to metastable atoms.
