  • Abstract
    A method is described for the characterization and counting of discharges in MSGCs. It is shown that the technique is sensitive enough to detect the micro-discharges which occur prior to full sparking, with a detection efficiency of 0.8. Some example results are presented, showing the variation of micro-discharge rate with gain.
