Abstract
Measurements of the pulse‐height distribution from electron multipliers excited by single electrons are interpreted in terms of the Poisson statistics to give the secondary emission coefficient and detection efficiency. It is shown that silver‐magnesium dynodes are characterized by a distribution of local values of the secondary emission coefficient.Keywords
