Abstract
The proportional chambers operating in the plasma mode were investigated wi th the aim of being used in calorimetric measurements. The chambers, simple in design, were blown through with a cheap two-component mixture. Amplitud e spectra of the showers produced by 10-GeV electrons were measured with le ad plates of differing thicknesses. The chambers were investigated in the a bsence and presence of the magnetic field aligned with their electric field . The experimental results show that this type of detectors can be used to measure the energy of gamma -quanta.
