Abstract
Resistive-glass, parallel-plate chambers are studied in both spark and avalanche modes. In the avalanche mode rates of over 10(3) s-1 cm-2 a re achievable with a total collected charge per pulse of 10(8) electro ns. Operated at low pressure and with secondary-electron emission from a porous CsI surface, a timing resolution of 600 ps has been measured . Future improvements are discussed.
