“…Delay/efficiency data are frequently discussed on the assumption that the presence of a single free electron at the onset of the pulse will inevitably cause a spark (eg Cranshaw and de Beer 1957, Rutherglen 1964, Allkofer 1969. /Thus if the number of initial electrons remaining after a time t is N(t), then the efficiency is given by poissonian statistics as…”

Experimental results of the efficiency of current-limited spark chambers as a function of pulse delay are described for various types of chamber. These results are presented partially for their direct application to extensive air shower research, but primarily with a view to clarifying the spark mechanism operative in these chambers. A phenomenological theory describing the efficiency-pulse delay relationship is derived and compared with the experimental data. The results of this comparison are discussed and their relevance to a theory of the spark mechanism emphasized.

“…На рис. 12 приведена типичная счетная харак-теристика (d = 1 мм), полученная 24 при фиксированных значениях очи-щающего поля (+12 в), времени задержки (6 мксек) и ограничивающего сопротивления (100 ом). Ширина «плато» счетчика 2000 в, а значение эффективности счетчика на «плато» хорошо согласуется с рассчитанным (~ 92%).…”
