Abstract
Micro-Strip Gas Chambers (MSGC) have attracted a lot of attention sinc e their introduction by Oed [1] due to many promising features: good p osition resolution, high rate capability and low cost. Here we review present approaches of building such a detector and solving the problem s of stable high rate operation and ageing due to gas polymerisation. Some features necessary for use in high energy physics are discussed s uch as spatial resolution for inclined tracks and performance in a hig h magnetic field.
