| Summary: | UV lasers have proven to be a simple but powerful and versatile tool for calibration and surveying of drift chambers and for precision measurements of electron transport parameters in gases. Much information has been added recently, in particular on the performance of various dopants with high 2-photon ionisation cross sections and a great variety of applications. Experimental results and theoretical ideas will be reviewed in detail. Applications of lasers to bubble chambers and Si-strip detectors will only be touched briefly. |
