A Mechanism for SQS Avalanche
- Received Date: 1990-12-03
Abstract: Based on a large amount of experiment information, it is assumed that SQS avalanche is developed when the electric field around the anode wire is heavily distorted by the space charge accumulated in the primary avalanche. Following this assumption calculations are performed. The dependence of charge output on the high voltage of the counter is presented. Some key quantities, such as SQS transition voltage Vtr and charge output Qpt and Qst are calculated. Their dependence on gas composition is also presented.
