Abstract
The performance of open‐structure channel electron multipliers has been investigated in a laboratory simulation of the ascent pressure profile for a typical sounding rocket. The results of this test demonstrate that evacuation of the payload prior to launch is necessary for experiments where stability of response is an essential parameter.Keywords
