摘要：

A measurement of the time distribution of signals due to single electrons created at the CsI photocathode in a thin multiwire Proportional chamber is described. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) has been measured to be 8.3 ns. Calculations, which include different drift lengths, diffusion and electronic noise, agree well with the measured distribution. A timing resolution of about 1 ns FWHM is expected for Cherenkov radiation in 1 cm of NaF crystal, giving rise to approximately 30 photoelectrons from the CsI photocathode.
