摘要
A new anode support structure for the spherical proportional counter is presented that incorporates a resistive correction electrode made of glass. This electrode improves the electric field homogeneity versus angle, while suppressing the probability and intensity of sparks compared to non-resistive alternatives. The configuration of the correction electrode was optimised with simulations. Such support structures have been constructed and measurements have demonstrated homogeneous response of the detector and operational stability. A measurement of the resistivity of the glass used is also presented.
