Abstract

Several mechanisms limiting the rejection in large aperture gas Cherenkov counters and their implications for the design of such counters are discussed. Gas scintillations, one of these mechanisms, were investigated experimentally and measurements of relative scintillation yields of various gases are reported. A counter which was used in an experiment on leptonic K-decays is described in detail.
