Raising the Bar on Electron Multiplier Operation at Elevated Pressures

Raising the Bar on Electron Multiplier Operation at Elevated Pressures

This paper explores the boundaries of electron multiplication for amplification at pressures above 1x10-4 Torr. Using gain, voltage and dark current measurements in differing multiplier geometries, the maximum operating pressure as a function of voltage and detector gain is presented.
