also allowed for the development of a sensor array that can function as a vertex

detector [30]. These high-resolution systems include a set of image-intensifier tubes

followed by a CCD or an electron bombardment CCD (EBCCD) camera. Detect-

ors with as much as 10

capillaries have been reported to yield resolutions of

20---40 mm and are capable of withstanding radiation levels at least an order of

magnitude higher than those of other tracking devices of comparable performance

[31, 32]. Other relevant achievements obtained with these vertex liquid-core sen-

sors include the recording of high-quality images of neutrino interactions [33].
