Abstract
Measurements of electron transmission and multiplication in lead glass tube arrays, in which a resistive field shaping electrode is provided by reductioni of a surface layer of lead oxide, have been continued. The transmission losses have been successfully modeled allowing the true avalanche gains to be extracted. Gains of up to 100 have been observed. Applications as a photon shield in Cherenkov imaging detectors are discussed.
