✦ Synopsis

The probability is computed that a meson traversing a thin foil will produce at least one secondary electron of suffÉcient energy to emerge from the foll with the meson. Numerical results are presented for various meson momenta and foll thicknesses, and the bearing of these results upon certain low pressure Geiger-Mueller counter experiments is discussed.
