The gas multiplication factor A/sub o/ was determined in cylindrical counters at specific counter wire voltages and varied pressures, wire radii and counter shell radii for methane and various methane-argon mixtures, as used in proportional counters. It is seen that the Rose-Korff and the Curran-Craggs- modified Rose-Korff theory do not agree with the experimental results. Use of the Diethorn expression is made in presenting the results in terms of two parameters ic response in V and K, characteristic of the gas filling. The meaning and values of ic response in V and K are discussed, and the recent results of van Duuren and Sizoo for an ethanol-argon mixture are reinterpreted in terms of these characteristic parameters.
