Abstract
The response of micro strip gas counters (MSGC) has been studied for p article tracks with inclined incidence with respect to the strip plane . The setup consisted of four 10 x 10 cm2 MSGC detectors arranged in a cosmic ray hodoscope with a trigger threshold of 300 MeV/c for muons. Results are given for the collected charge, the spatial resolution an d the detection efficiencies. A Monte Carlo simulation has been used t o understand the effects of cross talk in the data and to extrapolate the data to other angles of incidence.
