Abstract :
A three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation code) has been written, which calculates physical characteristics of the electron avalanche around an anode wire of a proportional counter. The microscopic treatment of the avalanche development in a gas counter has been realized first using the present simulation code. Typical results of simulations are reported.
