Abstract
Several measurements were performed with a streamer tube on a muon bea m in different geometric and operational configurations. The use of a wave form digitizer in recording streamer pulses produced by minimum i onizing particles allowed the discrimination between single and multip le streamer discharges. The rate of occurrence of multi-streamer pulse s as a function of different parameters has been measured. Also, the d ependence of charge and pulse shape on the angle of the track with res pect to the wire were studied. The analysis of pulse shape can be used to improve the comprehension of the phenomenology of the streamer dis charge, putting constraints on the existing models.
