Yl. Grishkin et al., MICROSTRIP GAS-CHAMBERS ON IAD-COATED SAPPHIRE SUBSTRATES WITH ALUMINUM STRIPS, Instruments and experimental techniques, 40(1), 1997, pp. 50-53
The results of tests of microstrip gas chambers on sapphire substrates
with aluminum strips are presented. The ion assistance deposition tec
hnique was used to vary the surface resistance of the sapphire. Tests
of microstrip gas chambers demonstrated the uniformity of their charac
teristics for all strips and their efficiency under high loads (simila
r to 10(5) mm(-2) s(-1)).
