A four-layer gas detector for electrons and other charged particles is developed. A charged particle passing through a thin window produces ionization in four consecutive gas gaps separated by absorbers. The gas gain about of 10 4 allows one to determine four signal amplitudes under the control of any combination of these signals. Simultaneous measurement of the ionization losses of the particle in the successive layers of the detector makes it possible to determine the energy of the passing particle.
