Description

The experiments with spark counters have shown that by surrounding the anode wire with two wires of a larger diameter, an increase of the detection efficiency of about 25% is observed. The analysis of the amplitudes of the pulses in those guard wires with the coincident pulses in the anode wire shows that is is possible to determine. The ionizing particle incidence position with rather simple and conventional electronic circuitry. (author). 5 refs, 7 figs
