Abstract
Multiwire gaseous detectors have matured in the last few decades with major implications in particle physics experiments, they have also been successfully refined for use in other fields: X-rays for medical imaging, UV and single photon detection, neutron and crystal diffraction studies etc. Their major limitation has been a modest rate capability (/spl sim/10/sup 3//mm/sup 2/). In the last decade several micropattern position sensitive gas devices have been introduced with an inherently improved rate capability (few MHz/mm/sup 2/) and a localization accuracy of 40-50 /spl mu/m. They are being extensively pursued for their application in several fields. A state-of-the-art of this new generation of gaseous detectors will be reviewed.
