  • Abstract
    We report on the performance of a new gaseous electron multiplier: the Micro-Hole & Strip Plate (MHSP). It consists of two independent charge-amplification stages in a single, double-sided micro-structured electrode, deposited on a thin insulating substrate. Charge gains in excess of 103 were obtained in a MHSP operated with soft X-rays in Ar/CO2 (70/30). We present the results of a systematic study of the MHSP properties and those of a double-stage GEM+MHSP multiplier. Applications to gaseous photomultipliers are discussed.
