Abstract：
In this paper the influence of various proportion of Ne-He gases and the time delay on the quality of streamer tracks has been studied. The diameterand density of streamers under these mixed-gas conditions have been measured.
The time resolution of this streamer chamber was determined to be 2.1μs in 69% Ne+31% He+8×10^－8 SF₆, and as 177μs in pure neon by using the exponentially decreasing relation of streamer desity with delay time. The spatial resolution was determined to be 0.32mm in Ne+3×10^－8 SF₆ by measuring the streamer diameters, and the method of track standard deviation was also used.
Some results show that the diameter and brightness increase with increasing high voltage, but become rather even when high voltage continues increasing.
Photographs were taken with domestically produced special film (32 DIN, 60 lines/mm), being similar to Kodak SO-143.
A special designed central electrode of the streamer chamber with its wires inlaid in lucite plate is successful for preventing gas from breakdown near wires. Besides, delay time has been reduced to 1.3μs, mainly by the Marx generator and its trigger system the parameters of which have been chosen by a series of experiments.
