Abstract

In work the results of the analysis are presented relating to the status of a streamer discharge mode in different gas detectors developed at the moment in laboratories and nuclear-physics installations. Thanks to new representations from a scope of high-speed narrow gas detectors together with the settle technique of a multiwire devices there are the possibility to undertake the next attempts to know a nature of this phenomenon. Studying prebreakdown and postbreakdown states in such detectors with the objective to rise their operation reliability under conditions of a high counting rate is a pressing issue.
