摘要
We describe the development of microstrip gas chambers manufactured on thin-foil plastic supports. Gains up to 10(4) and energy resolutions around 20% fwhm have been obtained for low rate 5.9 keV x-rays. A space-charge dominated gain drop appears only at very high rates, close to 10(6) s-1.mm-2. The measurements show however long-term time-dependent modifications (charging up), particularly for high resistivity supports; nevertheless, the results are very encouraging and further developments may lead to the development of a new family of light, flexible detectors with high resolution.
