Abstract
Several experiments carried out in our laboratory during the last two years, have led to the introduction of simple techniques for the construction of highly reliable spark counters of the Chang-Rosenblum type. A systematic study on the behaviour of such counters has shown that through the use of a new electronic technique to interrupt the discharge and by a suitable choice of the filling gas, it was possible to reduce drastically the radiation damage in the cathode and to obtain plateaux of 2 kV with a slope < 0.01%/V. It is shown that the techniques used have decreased the dead time of the counter by a factor 10 2 and its life was increased by a factor 10 3/cm of anode length.
