Abstract

The efficiency of spark chambers, consisting of sealed glass boxes filled with neon-helium mixture and having external metal electrodes, has been found to depend upon the rate of pulsing of the chambers. This effect is due to internal clearing fields, produced by the discharges themselves, which influence the whole chamber and not just the area around the spark. The fields are small, of the order of 1 V/cm, and are most likely to be caused by charge movement over the glass surface from the position of the originating discharge.
