  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.
