Abstract :
Spark chambers with digitized readouts offer distinct advantages in spatial resolution and coverage over other gamma-ray imaging devices. While these chambers usually require external logic signals for triggering, in this paper we describe a method that provides self-triggering spark chambers. We also describe initial tests of a 45 ?? 45 cm spark chamber with 60Co and 198Au samples.
