The multiwire proportional chamber (MWPC) has been introduced more than a decade ago as a powerful, fast detector suited for highenergy physics experimentation (Charpak et al., 1968). Since then, an impressive amount of work has been realized both on the improvement and the better understanding of the original detector, and on the development of various derived structures. For a review of detectors' performances and a general discussion of their use in experimental physics, see, for example, Charpak (1970), Rice-Evans (1974), Sauli (1977), Fabjan and Fisher (1980).It is clear that a detailed knowledge of all aspects of charge drift and multiplication is necessary for the understanding of the behaviour of a given detector configuration. In what follows, I will describe in some detail only the processes directly connected with the main subject of interest; the reader is referred to the quoted papers and to the references there given to more detailed studies.
