ON A POSSIBLE ENHANCEMENT OF RELATIVISTIC INCREASE IN IONIZATION

Abstract

Theoretical analysis indicates that reabsorption of Cerenkov radiation in special mixtures of elements with different ionization potentials should give an appreciable enhancement of relativistic increase of primary ionization. Mixtures of H + He and He + alcohol are discussed. It would be useful to prove experimentally the existence of such an effect for its potential application in high energy physics, i.e., particle detection.
