Abstract
A new method to obtain laser amplified scintillations (LAS) in Ne and other noble gases is presented and discussed. The Ne(2p53s) states populated by the ionizing radiation is repeatedly excited to the Ne(2p53p) states by resonant laser radiation and the subsequent fluorescent light is detected. The closed loop excitation-de-excitation process can give more than 10 photons/excited Ne(2p53s) atom. LAS applied in direct scintillation is expected to give the same energy resolution as that of proportional countrs. A new 3D track detector, with a recovery time of 10μs, is discussed. LAS can also be used to replace TEA and TMAE vapours in devices such as the parallel plate imaging chamber.
