摘要
We propose new techniques of X-ray spectroscopy and imaging, based on the use of low-pressure multistep gaseous electron multipliers. Ultrasoft X-rays are detected by counting single-electron clusters induced in the gas. X-ray induced UV-photons in gas scintillation chambers are read out with wire chambers coupled to CsI photocathodes. X-rays converted in foil-electrodes are imaged by fast multistep avalanche electron multipliers. We discuss the advantages of the various techniques and present experimental results and Monte Carlo simulations.
