Abstract :
Gas detector of single photons are required in Cherenkov imaging counters, in particular when large surface must be instrumented. The present detectors suffer of severe limitations usually related to the ion and photon back flow to the photocatode. The principle and the status of novel photon counters based on Micro Pattern Gaseous Detector is discussed.
