Description
A simple method is described for calculating the induced and total charge distributions on the electrodes of a PPAC. Such information is required in order to predict the differential non-linearity of specific position encoding systems. Examples of theoretical distributions are compared with some experimental data. Changes in the distributions as a function of time are explored. (orig.)
