Abstract
Plastic streamer tubes are investigated with the aim to improve the op eration stability and the response of the strips placed above and belo w the chambers. If negative HV is applied to the profile, a deteriorat ion of the strip response and a shift toward higher values of the volt age plateau compared with the case of applying positive HV to the wire , is observed. This is explained by the influence of the cover resisti vity on the electric field in the tube. Stable operation and low-volta ge plateau is observed when using various dielectric materials with lo w resistivity (10(11)-10(12) Omega cm) as a cover material.
