At higher count rates the ion cloud around the counter wire reduces the effective counter voltage (and gas gain), which causes the pulse height distribution to shift to lower voltages (Fig. Cleveland, imparts an electrostatic charge directly to each paint droplet, whereas other electrostatic systems create a high-voltage ion cloud from which the paint droplets pick up a charge as they pass through it. While this standard used a modest ion cloud ([approximately equal to][10. |
