IONIZATION CURRENTS IN ARGON AND HELIUM LIQUIDS

Abstract
Ionization currents in alpha-irradiated argon and helium I and II liquids have been measured over an electric field range of 105:1, and conduction pulse amplitude distributions have been measured over a 300:1 range of applied field. A critical examination of theories of ionic recombination shows that they are unable to explain the results of the present experiment, and a new approach to the problem of columnar recombination is suggested.
