Abstract:
Theoretical analysis indicates that reabsorption of Cerenkov radiation in special mixtures of elements with different ionization potentials should give an appreciable enhancement of relativistic increase of primary ionization. Mixtures of H He and He alcohol are discussed. It would be useful to prove experimentally the existence of such an effect for its potential application in high energy physics, i.e., particle detection.
