When high energy particle pass through the MWPC, it makes ion-electron pair. It called as primary ionization. Free electron accelerated by electric field that caused by anode wires. It collide with other gas molecule and make another ionization pair. It called as secondary ionization. Ratio between number of event of primary ionization and secondary ionization is called as a gas gain.
