Abstract
Gas scintillation counters of radiation intensiuvely developed in last years, are advanced compared to proportional gas counters by their enhansed energy resolution [1] In such a counters there is registered VUV radiation of the Townsend avalanches (A) in contrast to charge collecting in the conventional counters. This work concerns the study of the VUV spectra of A in rare gases and H2 at pressures P=0.1-30 atm.
