Abstract
The form of a general theory of cavity ionization is outlined. By considering the modification of the shape and the energy in the electron spectrum produced by the cavity material In the medium, a general theory of cavity lonization Is derived. It is shown to be in good agreement with experimental results. The application of this general cavity theory to solid and liquid state detectors is discussed.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
