Abstract

Currently, a revolution is happening in the development of gaseous detectors of photons and particles. Recently developed gaseous detectors with solid photocathodes are now replacing photosensitive wire-chambers, which dominated for years in high-energy and space-flight experiments. We will review the main developments in this field as well as some applications. New results on solid photocathodes coupled with gaseous micropattern/wire detectors will also be presented.
