Q (?):
Did you notice any effect on the cathode or Malter effect for the mixture without
CF4?
A (G. G.):
We did not observe any hint of Malter effect for this kind of gaseous
mixture. When we opened the aged chamber no signs of film or pollution
were found on the cathode.
Comment (J. Va'vra):
I do not understand that people dare to use RTV, not clean solder flux, use
double-sided scotch tape, push the gas gain to >105 and somehow hope to cope
with LHC rates. Sounds like pushing luck. It is also a "bad" message to
management.
