Abstract :
During the course of an experiment on the decay properties of ¿° particles we observed qualitatively an ionization effect. The sparks of the heavily ionizing proton were bright and had 100% gap efficiency. The sparks of the minimum ionizing pion are weak and have a low gap efficiency. These observations are studied quantitatively in this paper.
