Description

A planar spark counter of size 1.0 m x 0.1 m has been developed and tested. The constituent elements are a semiconductive glass anode and a window float-cast glass cathode coated by vacuum-deposited copper. The distance between electrodes is 200 μm. A single counter time resolution of 61 ps was achieved with cosmic rays. (orig.)
