Reversibility of parameter changes of microchannel electron multipliers due to outgassing

Abstract
The changes in the gain and strip current characteristics of a microchannel electron multiplier which are caused by outgassing due to ir baking were investigated. Baking at 200°C caused only reversible outgassing. Baking at 250°C for six hours produces irreversible changes. Detailed descriptions of the experimental set up and the controls performed during the baking are given.
