Abstract
Fluctuations of the charge amplification factor (gain) are a key element for assessing the performance of gas-based particle detectors. In this report, we present Monte Carlo calculations of electron avalanches based on the Magboltz program. In terms of a simple model extracted from the simulation, an intuitive explanation for the impact of the gas mixture and the electric field on the gain spectrum is proposed.
