Description

Planar Spark Counters (PSC's) have unique detection properties for charged particles. These counters have achieved the best time resolutions of any particle detector. This in combination with their other properties makes PSC's attractive for use in high energy particle physics. At SLAC a program to develop this technology has been in progress since 1978. Last year a pair of PSC's at the PEP storage ring were tested. The results are reported here
