Abstract

Optical images of the streamer from a Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) are observed using a transparent high-voltage electrode in the operation of streamer mode. The optical images are measured using CCD camera system in mixture Ar/C₄H₁₀ with and without C₂H₂F₄. Area of typical streamer image is approximately 12 mm² in both gas mixtures with its surrounding halo of 2-4 mm in diameter. We also observed the quenching effect of C₄H₁₀ and C₂H₂F₄ on the optical image in the chamber.
