Abstract
We describe first results obtained with a track structure imaging system fo r measuring the ionisation topology of charged particles in a low-pressure gas. The detection method is based on a time projection chamber (TPC) fille d with low-pressure triethylamine (TEA). Images of ionisation tracks of ele ctrons, protons, and heavier ions are presented and analysed.
